They will try washing out your stomach from above ( a tube will be inserted thru your nose) to try uclogging you.  They will also try an enema.  If these don't work, you might need surgery to remove part of the intestine that contains the blockage.  (My mom had this done at the age of 85)  It is a serious surgery and blockage is very serious - please get to a doctor immediately.

try pure orange juice or prunes if this dont shift then you may have a blockage need to see a doc

a week is REALLY dangerous. especially with nausea. I'd recommend seeing your doctor straight away... sometimes constipation means something is also stuck in the intestines that shouldn't be there... even something like bowel cancer... so i'd defiantly go get it checked out.
Until you do, all i can really recommend is have a high fibre diet (pears, apples, prunes, apricots, vegtables) WITH LOTS of water.. and maybe try the laxatives again.. but those can damage you after long use so just see.
Definitely go see a doctor.
