What Causes Diarrhea Along With Blood In Stool And Stomach Ache?

Hi, I really dont want to go to the dr and want to see if there is i way to treat my symptoms at home or just get antibiotics. I believe I have an intestinal infection, I have had them twice before. Symptoms include diarrhea (10+ times a day, liquid), blood in/on stool, sore butthole, crazy stomach cramps, fatigue. I really just dont want to deal with the testing to diagnose this (pooping in bowel and then digging in to fill up 3 viles). Is there anyway to diagnosis this without me having to carry around my crap?

Hello,

You have most probably bacillary dysentery. To a patient with these symptoms, I usually prescribe a combination of ciprofloxacin and tinidazole twice daily with an antispasmodic combination with paracetamol twice daily for 5-7 days.

You should always keep a constant check on your dehydration and loss of essential minerals. Take an oral rehydration powder with water frequently and take the bland diet.

Let me add that it is always safe to consult a doctor before starting these medicines.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
