What Causes Red Diarrhea, Nausea And Paining Scrotum?

Thanks Doc for reading this. So I haven't felt well for a couple of days I've had some red diarrhea and it dosn't hurt to poop or anything. I'm ill to the stomach and sometimes I have pain around my scrotum. Also I'm kinda Nashua at times or feel like vomiting. Could this be food poison or some type of cancer?

Hi,
You are suffering from gastroenteritis also known as stomach flu.Don't worry its not cancer.It is an intestinal infection marked by diarrhoea, cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever.However all symptoms are not present in every patient.Bacterial and viral infection causes inflammation in your stomach and intestines causing symptoms like vomiting, severe abdominal cramps, and diarrhea.
Treatment
Take imodium(Loperamide) 2mg one tablet stat.
Start taking a probiotic twice daily,Probiotics contains lactobacillus. These bacteria's help in proper digestion of food and will help to revive your depleted gastric flora.
Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration–You need to drink more than usual to replace the fluids lost from diarrhoea.
Take juices rich in potassium.
Neksium 40mg should be taken once daily,it will provide symptomatic relief in belching and gas problem.
A stool routine and microscopy test should be done to rule out bacterial infection.In case it's bacterial Cefixime and ofloxacin can be given for 3 days.

Most of the time its self limiting and take 4-5 days to settle down.
Thanks.
