Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
Your doctor say that you have problem of virus infection.
That may cause discoloration of stool.
Intestinal infection may cause blood in stool.
Stool examination test is helpful for diagnosis.
By this test you can know which type of infections is present .
Follow your doctor suggestion .
Still any problem than you can ask me.
Take care.
Thank you very much.
