What Causes Diarrhea, Fever And Blood In Stool?
Brief Answer:
Might be gastroenteritis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query and the picture.
I would like to know few more information like
Is there any nausea and vomiting?
Did he take outside food?
Based on the information I feel he has gastroenteritis.
Most cases of gastroenteritis are caused by viruses and requires only symptomatic treatment, consuming contaminated foods or drinks is another common cause.
He do not need antibiotic ( considered after stool examination) and also not anti diarrhoeal agent.
I would suggest him to drink plenty of water or electrolyte solutions to prevent dehydration.
Add bland foods to your diet, such as bananas, toast, oatmeal and rice in small amounts every couple of hours. Avoid spicy food. Restrict meat for few days.
You can take curd which will be beneficial.
You can take capsule omeprazole 20 mg before breakfast, empty stomach once daily for a week. Probiotics like sporolac or ecobion will be beneficial.
Other possibility like hemorrhoids need to be ruled out, so it would be better if you see local doctor.
I would have asked for stool routine examination and based on the report I would have decided on the next line of management (requirement of antibiotic)
Hope this helps
Take care.
