Suggest A Remedy For Constipation
My son has fractured his thigh bone and is lying with plastered leg. He has to lie down in a fixed position in the bed and cannot move. Now he is also facing acute constipation. I saw stool near the opening of the anus, but he could not push it out. Please prescribe something to soften his stool.

Hello,
The symptoms of your son seem to be related to constipation.
I recommend using over the counter laxative such as Miralax.
I also recommend to give him daily probiotics.
I suggest to give him liquids and use a fiber-rich diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
