What Causes Brown Saliva And Blood In Stool?
Hi I am 31 years old. I got up today with brown saliva on my bed. I had yesterday a very big indian lunch around 4 pm and a potato crisp packet just before went to sleep. Is it because of that. Few weeks back I also passed some blood through my stool but I also remember I had eaten spicy food the other day.

Antibiotics like ciprofloxacin or metronidazole may also be needed. Soft diets and hydration should be ensured alongside.
