The first level of constipation treatment is trough the food absorption,with richness of laxative contents like papayas or bananas.If as you say,tree days duration,that's situation you must go to the Physician to check it.If with fever,may be be intestinal occlusion,that needs the operation.

I just had this problem with my son a few months ago and they recommend prunes, raisins, apples, brocoli, whole wheat products, etc, as a part of your regular diet. Try these foods for a while and things should work. If not, he better see a doctor.

an apple a day keeps the dr away, eat apples, drink lots of water and he might try prune juice. Usually fresh fruit and veggies are the best bet.

He should try eating more vegitables and drinking more water and fruit juices. Hot drinks and coffee can help too. He should also relax and try not to worry about it. If he doesn't have a bowel movement soon and experiences severe pains in his stomach, he should visit a doctor.

drink plenty of water, that'll help, but 3 days is not too long to go with out a BM. castor oil, or mineral water I think it's called. it' in a little green bottle ,get it at at a pharmacy. that works every time

Tell him to get some Colace at the drugstore, and some prune juice. Just tell him not to go to far from a restroom after he gets that.

He should try psyllium for fiber and aloe juice. That should clean him right out. Then if he is still having problems he should find some healthy bacteria to get his system back to normal.

do not eat bananas or cheese(dairy) as this will make it worse. Drink lots of fluid and as nasty as this stuff is, prune juice is a natural lax. and will go through his system faster than meds. Good luck and feel better.
