For temporary relief from constipation and gas, you can consider over-the-counter options. For constipation, osmotic laxatives like polyethylene glycol or fiber supplements like psyllium husk are gentle and effective. For gas, simethicone helps break down gas bubbles in your gut. Alongside medicine, try to increase your water intake, eat more fiber-rich foods, and engage in light walking. These symptoms are very common and usually resolve quickly. However, if your symptoms persist for more than a week, or if you experience severe pain, vomiting, or blood in your stool, please consult a healthcare professional for a personalized evaluation.
