What you described is more consistent with constipation than obstruction. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948

Rarely it can happen. It seems you have constipation with or withot fecal impaction. Best to take a laxative like Miralax and if still no BM see your MD or urgent/ER center. Your fever seemas to be related to your 'cld'. Hope you feel better
