Hi, Mimkhdar,
Thanks for query.
It seems that due to some infection, most probably he might be having infected piles or fissure in ano.
due to this infection your friend is having fever, fatigue and cold feeling.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Meanwhile you can give tylenol as and when required.
Ok and bye.

Hello and thanks for the query
I don't think he is suffer from cold or viral fever. He has Intestinal infection that is causing bleeding from anus but needs to rule out Heamrriods and fissure in ano. Don't give hot tea or coffee, it increases gastritis and may result in more bleeding. Try to give High fiber diet and more fruits like apple and banana. You can also you soft laxative and Isabgol in night as a fiber diet.
Consult your doctor for a course of antibiotic and take antacids and Proton Pump Inhibitor. Avoid all spicy and fatty and oily food. Take plenty of water and green vegetables and salads.
Best wishes and have a speedy recovery.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in.
The possibilities I can think of are Viral Fever, blood loss, or anxiety due to witnessing blood from the anus, low blood sugars. All these conditions can cause cold hands and feet, shaking, nausea etc.
You did the right thing by giving him a tylenol for the fever. However, I would advise you to take your friend to a doctor and get the following blood tests like random blood sugar, complete blood picture etc. Probably the bleeding(fresh red blood|) from the anus might be due to piles/ anal fissures which also needs to be evaluated.
In the meantime, see how he is responding to tylenol. If he is feeling slightly better, it might be an indication that he might be having viral fever. Please document the temperature reading. Viral fever normally present with temp more than 101 F. The treatment is usually symptomatic with tylenol 3 times a day for 2 days, and hydration. Make sure he is well hydrated with plenty of warm fluids to drink.; warm water, warm milk, warm tea etc....
Wishing your friend a speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
