Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history,As you tried laxative, still you have constipation. I'd suggest you to take syp. lactulose after consultation. You may require ultrasound or CT scan abdomen after consultation. Along with that drink lot of fluids. take soft food. Do regular exercises.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
