But in the last week even after taking laxatives and digestive medication on a regular basis she is suffering from chronic constipation and when she is passing stool it is very hard and in small amount.

Please meet a surgeon and get her evaluated. Chronic constipation inspite of taking laxatives could be due to other factors.
