Softener: Needs suppository to help facilitate lower passage (like glycerin suppository) + softener from above (like miralax--adds in to most drinks w/o much taste/grit & keeps moisture in stool to keep if from being too hard). If no improvement after few days, should see dr for exam to be sure no other issue(s) present.
