My mother aged 68 years has been suffering from constipation since last 2 days after undergoing wide local excision surgery of cold abscess on neck skin. She is on post operative antibiotics & pain killers since last 2 days. kindly suggest best medicines or syrup to get her out from this problem of constipation post surgery. I am having looz syrup, giving 15-20 ml of it during bedtime would help??? or any other medicines are also required??? Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions
