I am having constipation problem from 10 days. Actually I have taken cough syrup having codeine composition and constipation happened. By taking laxative I can go to the toilet but without laxative it is impossible to go to the toilet. I have used laxative 3 times during bed time in these 10 days and next morning I had gone to toilet. If I don't use laxative ,constipation problem continues. I feel like stool has stuck in intestine. Can it be treated?

Yes, first of all drink good amount of water/liquid (atleast 4 litres) so that you won't get dehydrated. Secondly you can take laxatives like looz, piclin for next few days so that your bowel function gets its normal routine. If problem persist you can consult again.
