Says he is feeling a little better but now is constipated so bad he can't sleep or lay down or barely move. what should he do about constipation?

Lots of water: Constipation can be helped with increased water intake and high fiber foods. However, if his symptoms are that bad, he may need to see a doctor to rule out a bowel obstruction and to help get his bowels moving.
