If youre actually experiencing discomfort then you should go to your chemist and buy some Coloxyl & Senna tablets. Follow the instructions and drink plenty of water there after. You should see the results soon if not, the next day. Could be a day later. If however, you do not have a successful bowel motion then you have a few options.. Go back to your chemist and see what other options they may have. Or.. If you have not been able to pass it for 3 or 4 days and no medications you have tried helps then id go to your hospital to have the obstruction reviewed.
