Thanks for the query.
It is the common problem to have constipation which is not responding to oral medicines.
I would suggest you to try more natural remedies like eating lot of veggies, fruits, high fibre diet.
Also let her drink lot of water.
Daily walking , and outdoor sports should be encoureged.
If the costipation is not responding to above treatment then try glycerin suppository.
Hope i helped you.
