Hello there,
I am dr.milan an infectious disease specialist answering your question,
As far as your constipation concern and it is not relieved by milk of magnesia there are following substance you can try.
1.Paraffin oil
2.Castor oil
They are readily available in market, you can mix it with some juices or with milk.
One best laxative i know id the Terminalia chebula, in local language it is known as harade, it s an ayurvedic product and it has many benefit.
You take it an night 2-3 spoon powder dissolve in water.
Along with in morning time before passing stool just apply lignocaine gel at anan opening and inner side of anal opening, so it decrease chances of cracking of anal mucosa when hard stool is passed.
If any of this is not work you need to take enema that is laxative by anal route through special device. In enema you can try Dulcolax it is a good laxative. It is also available in tablet form you can try at night one tablet.
In this type of constipation you should try combination of 2 to 3 laxative simultaneously.
If all this methods is fail than you need to remove stool by digitalization, by fingers but this is the last option remaining.
Hope i have given appropriate guidance to you.
if you have any query you can consult me anytime.
Give me star rating according to your satisfactory level.
Thanking you.
