Does Cold Cause Severe Gas And Blood In Stools?

I have a really bad cold, and I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I needed to have diarrhea but instead it was an over abundant about of gas and very little poo, when I went to wipe there was a little blood I didn't think much of it, but then as I got up I noticed that there was clear mucus with blood in them...should I be really concerned? Is it possible that from my cold my throat is so dry that I have swallowed some blood and now I'm passing it???

Hi,
From history of passing some blood with mucous indicates that you might be having dysentery.
No relation with cold you are having.
Take Metrogyl, ofloxacilin medicine for 3 days.
Take light diet.
Ok and take care.
