What Is The Treatment For Fever And Blood In Stool?
A friend of mine is in terrible pain since I made him go to the E.R. room last Sunday. He admitted that he had blood in his stool for the last month and he has been throwing up large clots for about a week and half. I took one look at him and could tell by the color (or no color) of his skin he was losing blood fast. He also had a fever and lost about 10-12 lbs. The doctors kept him for just under 2 days and sent him home stating it was a Polyp. He has been home for 3 days and he is miserable. He stomach is so distended it looks like it may burst and he states painful. He cant go to the bathroom (either way) and his feet, ankles, and legs below the knee are swelling up terrible, I would say double in size. he received a Endocrine surgery and was sent home. Is it possible he has a blockage somewhere and this is causing Air to fill in his stomach but fluid to fill in his lower extremities. He has not bled out anywhere but the distention and fulid retention is causing him great pain. What else could it be, can he do anything else for comfort and should I take him to another E.R. for a second opinion. I am worried about him, he is looking pale again and is weak and great pain I dont believe its Polyps. What else should we b looking into or at or ask doctor if its?????????????? Thank you very much
