Hello,
An infection may be the cause of constipation in your case, so I would suggest trying tablet Metronidazole twice in a day for seven days.
Try to avoid eating a heavy meal, fat-containing diet, keep the regular habit of defecation, even in absence of going for that. Do not exert the force at the time of defecation, no matter if you do not pass the stool, keep continue eating fiber diet, and increase water intake.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
