What to do if my 82 year old father has recently came from pakistan to australia and is suffering from constipation?

Get him seen: Your physician can check his thyroid, check him for other illnesses, evaluate his diet, get him to drink more water, offer a stool softener and/or diet with more bulk, offer a laxative. Encourage Dad to talk and think for himself and make his needs known. I'm glad you care enough to ask. Best wishes to you both.
