Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea And Colic

I have had diarrhea all night with extreme colic. At first the diarrhea was brown and as it continues it has been blood. The colic is still continuing but when I go to the bathroom I have diarrhea but it is all blood. I had a colonoscopy done two years ago. All was good. I just have this severe pain in the abdomen and blood diarrhea should I go to the emergency room

Hi welcome to health care magic....

Extreme blood in stool is not normal...
Yes according to history you should consult doctor immediately for examination and work up...

Here it could be acute colitis like infection or dysentery like infection....

Maintain hydration with lots of water....

Avoid excess spicy and heavy foods..
ORS taken with water to replenish lost electrolytes and probiotic with zinc tablet also given..

Empirical antibiotic like ciprofloxacin might be started...

Stool examination should be done in your case...
If it is amebic dysentery than metronidazole drug needed....

USG abdomen done and if needed colonoscopy needed for more work up

Take care
