Severe constipation from zofran

I’m really struggling with severe constipation and don’t know what else to do. I was already chronically constipated, but after receiving a double dose of Zofran at the ER for nausea, my constipation has gotten so much worse.
I’ve tried an enema, a suppository, and PEGlyte, but nothing has worked. I feel the urge to poop, but it’s extremely painful and nothing comes out. I’m also very bloated and have stomach pain.
I’ve been to the ER twice already and still haven’t gotten relief. On top of everything, I have strep throat.
Has anyone experienced constipation this severe? What helped when enemas, suppositories, and PEGlyte didn’t work?

Are you passing gas at all?

If the instructions ER gave you for the constipation aren't working, I'd return.
