I'm struggling with chronic constipation, and my doctor advised me to take Pegred solution for three months. I've been using it on and off for over four years now. Lately, for the past month or so, I'm dealing with back pain, feeling weak, tired, sleepy during the day, and having issues with vomiting and indigestion. Can you help me understand what's happening? Do you have any suggestions for other medications for constipation?

Question

I've been dealing with bleeding piles and I'm currently breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe for me to use lactulose solution? Could it have any effects on my baby?

I've been having these recurring stomach aches every time I try to go to the toilet, but nothing actually happens, just pain on that side. It's really frustrating because it doesn't seem to improve. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just clear up on its own? I've been trying to figure out what could be causing it. Any insights?

Question

I've been dealing with this issue where I keep having this irritating feeling in my throat like there's mucus constantly forming there. I used to get this sensation maybe every 3 or 4 months, but for the past 6 months, it's been happening every single day and it's really affecting my life. On top of that, I've been experiencing what's probably gas reflux, and it's making things even worse. It's become quite miserable, and I'm finding it hard to eat. Do you have any idea what might be going on or how I could get some relief?
