Im 18 years old. Ive been getting nauseous every morning and afternoon for the last 3 days. Today, the lower part of my stomachs been hurting. I found it difficult to take a nap because of the pain. Now, Im noticing blood and mucus in my stool (very little stool) whenever I go to the bathroom. What could this be? And do I need to see a doctor?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The history of passing blood and mucus in the stool along with nausea in the morning and afternoon is suggestive of an intestinal infection going in more towards gastroenteritis. Yes, you need to see a doctor as he can see your vitals like pulse, blood pressure and temperature and examine the abdomen and also give an order for the investigations and give you prescription of medicines. I would suggest you the following:Tests of blood, urine and stool (electrolytes, urea, creatinine, sugar) Ultrasonography of the abdomen. Antibiotics with metronidazole, probiotic, activated charcoal tablets' and symptomatic and supportive treatment as per the vitals and investigations.
