Hi, he must be bed ridden for couple of days during the period of tracheostomy and associated problems. He needs good laxative to smoothen the stool. For immediate relief and for good evacuation its better to give a Proctoclysis enema followed by syrup Duphalac 30 ml daily at night after food.
Next Steps
mobilize him as much as possible.
