I'm really worried because my mom, who was just diagnosed with kidney stones last Saturday, hasnt had a bowel movement since then and now it's Tuesday night. I understand that the medication shes on can cause constipation, and we tried giving her prunes, other high-fiber foods, and even some magnesium citrate, but nothing seems to work. Is there anything else we can do? What would you suggest to help her with this issue?

Encourage her for consuming high fibre diet and plenty of water,you can try with Laxative suspensions like LOOZ syrup 10 ml at bed time.

I'm feeling really anxious about my upcoming inguinal scrotal surgery next week. I recently went to see a pulmonary specialist for some chest pain and heaviness, and they found severe restriction due to small airway obstruction during the spirometry test. The doctor mentioned it's normal, but I'm still worried. Can you help me understand if there's anything specific I should be doing or looking out for with these results before my surgery?
