Hello, my drains for my bathtub and toilet are frozen and I'm trying to thaw them out with heat but its not working. Is there something I can pour down the drain to unfeeze it?

Thank you!

Frozen or just clogged? Its very unusual for a tub or toilet drain to freeze since there is no standing water in the drain lines and the toilet trap is inside the toilet and will not freeze. What brings you to the conclusion it is ice and not a clog?

It is very cold here and my some of my pipes froze earlier this week. There is no water in the toilets (2) and neither will flush, what can I do?
