A member asked:

My husband is constipated the last time he went was fri or sat an his stomach is hard i gave him 2 suppositories an nothing he cnt go an he has gas 2?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stool softeners: Stool soften ears such as MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) are more effective than suppositories. But if he is in severe pain or vomiting or is ill appearing or if it does not improve in a few days, he needs to see a doctor.
