Posted on Tue, 16 Apr 2019
Question: I have had a lot of bright red blood on my toilet paper with 2 different bowel movements today. I don't think I have a fissure or hemorrhoids. I do have Sore throat and sinus congestion. I am currently taking Mucinex for these sx. Could the 2 diff issues be related? Should I seek medical help? I recently moved to MI and do not have a family doc.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Bright red blood during bowel movements indicate the bleeding source is in the anorectum and lower left colon.
Sore throat, sinus congestion and the mucinex you are taking are not related to your bowel issues.
You need to consult your doctor to find the cause of bleeding during bowel movements.
