Disimpaction not working

Hello! My son is currently going through a dismpaction his dose is 12 sachets of laxido, 20 mls of sodium pico alongside supporities an were 7 days in an nothing but over bouts of over flow. He had a transit study test an it showed the blockage. We were already trailing different doses of laxido along with sodium picosulfate but everything would work for a week an then stop so they finally listened to me an did the transit study test as they couldnt feel the poo in his tummy an were not taking me serious.. I know dismpaction can take a time but I can't help to worry that the fact he is on 3 different types of medication at the highest dose an still nothing.. I'm losing hope, feel like I'm fighting a losing battle.

You need to keep going, 7 days is early in the process.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I've been on this thread for quite sometime now an reading others stories through disimpactions an how some have lasted for weeks an weeks. This is my 3rd attempt at it an the last 2 attempts I was told by my gp that I was not allowed to stay on 12 sachets for any longer than 2 days an each time I did it it never worked an had no choice but to come back down even though I told them it did not work. Its only now they are taking me serious because of the xray.. its extremely difficult an I'm trying my best to remain positive in the hope that we can fix this someday.
