First, please stop taking Dulcoflex, as it is a laxative and can worsen your cramps and diarrhea. Your symptoms, including fever and weakness, suggest an infection like gastroenteritis. It is highly recommended that you stay home to rest today rather than going to work. To recover, focus on sipping oral rehydration salts and water. You can take paracetamol to help lower your fever and ease the pain. Please see a doctor today for a proper evaluation to help you recover safely.

For a two-month-old baby, using laxatives like Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) or Dulcoflex (bisacodyl) suppositories without a doctor's direct guidance can be unsafe. Infants this young have very sensitive digestive systems, and a week without a bowel movement requires a professional medical evaluation to find the safest solution. In the meantime, you can try gently massaging his tummy or moving his legs in a bicycling motion to help him relax. Please have a healthcare provider examine him today to ensure he is safe and comfortable.

Daily use of stimulant laxatives like Dulcoflex (bisacodyl) can actually cause your bowel to become dependent on them, making constipation worse over time. Regarding your underarm boils and jaw aches, these are highly unlikely to be directly caused by your constipation. Boils are typically localized skin infections, and jaw pain might stem from dental issues or muscle tension. I gently encourage you to consult a doctor.

Dulcoflex (bisacodyl) is a stimulant laxative used for constipation. If your burning is due to straining from hard stools, softening the stool can help. However, bisacodyl can sometimes cause cramping or watery stools, which might temporarily worsen the burning. I gently advise against self-medicating without knowing the exact cause, which could be a small tear (anal fissure) or hemorrhoids. Please increase your water and fiber intake, and consult a doctor for a proper evaluation to find a safer, more soothing treatment.

Being unable to urinate is a medical concern that requires immediate professional evaluation to prevent complications. This urinary retention, along with severe abdominal pain, gas, and rectal discomfort, can sometimes occur if severe constipation is pressing on the bladder, or due to post-COVID nerve sensitivity. Since bisacodyl (Dulcoflex) and lactulose (Duphalac) have not provided relief, please seek care at an urgent care or emergency room right away. A doctor can quickly relieve her bladder pressure, perform a physical exam, and ensure she gets the right treatment safely.

Taking Dulcoflex (bisacodyl) for three years is not recommended. Long-term use of stimulant laxatives can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, which are very common causes of occasional headaches. Please rest assured, this can be resolved. I highly recommend speaking with a doctor to help you safely transition off Dulcoflex and establish a gentler, more sustainable plan to manage your digestion.
