Suggest Treatment For Blood In Stool And Influenza

Hi Dr, I am currently experiencing flulike symptoms and have aching bones and limbs. I also I m slightly congested and have blood in my stools. I really feel like I have been hit by a bus and have been like this for two days. When I go to the toilet there is blood on the tissue and also clumps of blood in the toilet. Should I be worried?

Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

Having body aches and slightly congested are signs of possible flu infection.

With regards to blood in stool, I need to know if you have been having constipation problems recently? If not, then, should go immediately to ER for immediate evaluation and treatment.

If you have been having constipation problems, then, this might have caused laceration of rectal mucosa due to hard stool and difficulty in passing motion. In such case, the very best thing is to avoid constipation.

Hope it was of help!
