Hello,

Your grandmother’s multiple health issues (hernia, orthopedic problems, ear & eye conditions, and constipation) require a holistic approach. Since medications haven’t helped much, a combination of medical follow-ups, dietary changes, and supportive care may improve her condition.

What You Can Do:
	1.	For Hernia & Orthopedic Issues:
	•	Avoid heavy lifting & straining (which worsens hernia).
	•	Use a hernia belt (if advised by a doctor).
	•	Physiotherapy for orthopedic pain relief.
	2.	For Constipation Relief:
	•	Increase fiber intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains).
	•	Drink 2.5-3L of water daily.
	•	OTC options: Isabgol husk, mild stool softeners (consult a doctor first).
	3.	For Ear & Eye Problems:
	•	Regular check-ups with an ENT and ophthalmologist to manage hearing & vision.
	•	Eye drops or hearing aids (if needed).
	4.	General Support:
	•	Balanced diet – Protein, calcium, and vitamin D for strength.
	•	Gentle activity – Short walks & stretching for mobility.

If her pain is severe or symptoms are worsening, consult her doctors for treatment modifications.

It sounds like your grandmother is dealing with multiple chronic conditions, and despite taking medications, her health is not improving. Since she has hernia, orthopedic issues, ear, and eye problems, managing her overall well-being requires a multispecialty approach. Chronic constipation could be making her discomfort worse, as it can cause bloating, pain, and even worsen her hernia symptoms. Ensuring she has a fiber-rich diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), plenty of fluids, and gentle physical activity (if possible) can help with constipation. If it persists, a doctor may prescribe mild laxatives or probiotics to regulate digestion.

For her orthopedic issues, physiotherapy, pain management, and possibly calcium/vitamin D supplements might help. If her hernia is causing severe pain or complications, surgical evaluation might be needed. Since she has multiple issues, consulting a general physician or geriatric specialist to coordinate her care can be beneficial. They can review her medications to check if any are causing side effects or interactions and suggest alternative treatments like lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, or even small surgical interventions if necessary. Keeping her mentally and emotionally supported is equally important for overall healing.
