Colitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Fishy odour and mucous in the stools almost always signifies infection of the colon. Here is what I suggest you do

1. A combination anti biotic like ciprofloxacin and tinizadole is ideal for this infection. Take it twice daily for 5 days
2. I also recommend a pro biotic like VSL-3 or sporolac daily twice for 7 days
3. For the heart burn tab pantoprazole 40 once daily before food
4. Constipation is a common issue seen in many patients, the only way to tackle this is to eat high fibre diet which is rich in fruits and vegetables, drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Syp lactulose can be taken daily at night.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

I wish you good health and a speedy recovery

Regards
