Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of coming back from Egypt a month ago, cramping and frequent motions since then. There is pink brown discharge.
This is obviously due to the intestinal infection.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Send the stool for tests on 3 consecutive days.
Get started on proper antibiotic and metronidazole cover.
Take probiotics, curd/yogurt and bananas.
Identify the foods and beverages that instigate or enhance your problems and stop altogether,.
Control of stress and/or anxiety is very important.
IF there is no complete relief within 5 days consult a Gastroenterologist for clinical evaluation, examination and further tests lik colonoscopy, biopsy and additional treatment.
I find this answer helpful
