Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The causes of constipation are:
1. Restricted activity
2. Obesity
3. Bedridden patient
4. Medicine side effects
5. Fatty food
You can take syrup Duphalac 15 ml. Drink a lot of fluids, take light diet with high fiber content. Treatment depends upon the underlying conditions. Kindly do the follow-up with detailed history or consult with the physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
