Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Diarrhea

I have been having diarrhea for about 10 days now off and on each day in addition to stomach pains/cramping every evening before diarrhea. Today was my first solid poop in 10 days and it had large white clumps in it - I m thinking it s mucus, but I don t know if I need to see a doctor or if this is normal.

Hello,Welcome to the HCM
Brief..Get a stool test done
Detailed answer...From your history it seems that you have got intestinal infection.My opinion would be first get stool test done and discuss the report.For loose stools and pain you may take tab. loperamide 2 tab stat and 1 tab for each stool.You may also take tab domperidone as per need.As you have got mucus in stool,you may need tab.metronidazole 250mg three times a day for 7 days.Hopefully you will get rid of your symptoms.
Do ask further without hesitation.
