Can I do something else besides giving him laxatives?

If someone has not had a bowel movement for a while or is experiencing difficulty passing stool, it may be helpful to try using a suppository or a laxative such as lax-a-day. Increasing water and fiber intake can also help alleviate constipation. Additionally, drinking apple juice or eating prunes can help relieve constipation. It is important to follow the recommended dosage guidelines when giving laxatives to avoid any potential complications.
