Constipation and herpes
My father has on and off issues with stool. Sometimes he has stool once in 3 days and that also hard stoop. 10 days back he suddenly got severe constipation and after 2 days he was having herpes in left side abdomen and back. He took antiviral medicine for 7 days. He is also taking laxatives along with antiviral medicine. The antiviral medicine is stopped now.
But he is still unable to clear the stool with satisfaction. He is also taking Pan D and antacid since 8 days. What can be done to reduce gas in stomach and increase stool?
