Not enough info: I assume you've had constipation and are trying to relieve it. if you're not having pain o fever or excessive bloating, try an enema. You can make your own with soapsuds or tap water, or get a fleets enema from the store (assuming you don't have kidney disease). Otherwise call your doc or go to ER.
