What Causes Bloody Diarrhea After Suffering From Vomiting And Headache?

I was told by my doc I have mono about a week ago. I was throwing up and had a headache etc. Then starting on Wed all Ive had since was diarrhea. There s been very slight amounts of blood every now and then but then today about 10 minutes ago I wiped and had what I thought was quite a bit on the paper... I m really worried. Is this normal? Ive had bad diarrhea for about 2-3 days and I m freaked out. I m a 16 year old male in good shape if that helps...

Hello,

Bloody diarrhea is a thing of concern. You should do a stool culture to see if you are having shigella or dysentery. The treatment depends on causes and you may need antibiotics. They are highly contagious.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
