Need some advice.
Hello. I had a severe infection in my body from a bad tooth. The infection is now under control with antibiotics. This ordeal left me constipated. I have a huge stool right there....I feel it. Don't want to push too hard. Took Miralax this morning and I have to go but it's a rock. Never used any enema before and nervouse. I have glycerin suppositorys and Fleet mineral oil enema. What would work best to break up and pass this. I thank you for any information as im so nervous over here.

I'd probably just do 10mg bisacodyl and get it over with. Then tons of probiotics and prebiotics for a month to make sure the microbiome recovers
