Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

You should drink plenty of water, consume fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and pulses, and engage in regular exercise. If the condition persists, it is advisable to visit your doctor for a laxative prescription. Avoid consuming refined foods like biscuits and cakes.

Thanks
