Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
Diarrhea with blood in it indicates a bacterial infection which has affected the intestine. Has your husband fevers?
First of all you should go to the healthcare center and go through stool examination and occult blood test.
After that you may start the medication including antibiotics as prescribed per your doctor. After you get the results you will continue the cure accordingly the results. Drink plenty of liquids to prevent dehydration. Keep a light diet.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
