I had an abscessed tooth and they had me on pain killers and antiobiotics, now I am severely constipated and in tons of pain! Any suggestions??

Try sipping on some grape or prune juice. Make sure to stay hydrated.

I have taken stool softeners and it helps. Not a laxative but a stool softener. I have to take iron tabs 2x a day and that sometimes backs me up. I have also found eating 5 or 6 prunes works too. Hope you get some relief soon!

It seems to be getting a little better as I have stopped taking the pain meds. But I think I will try stool softner too help a little more!
