Intestinal issues after infection: Vancomycin or alternative treatment?

The infection fixed but my intestines are now destroyed. The rectum encounters occasional pain (stabbing like) after using the toilet and the stool is covered in mucus. The stool color is dark red/ brown. No diarrhea. Heart pain that radiates to the left arm, probably under reactive inflammatory context. No tachycardia. Do I have to start 250mg vancomycin hydrochloride PO each 6 hours for 7 days? All the doctors in my city are saying that this antibiotic is only for diarrhea people. What should I do? I'm also nauseous. Took fluconazole 3 weeks then itraconazole 3 weeks in winter, no help, just probably made the situation worse. Today WBC 11.9. Anti-streptolysin, sedimentation rate & reactive C protein are normal. Abdominal tomography displayed inflamed lymph nodes around aorta (reactive inflammatory context). What would you do if you were me? Not currently taking any medication/ having any known condition.

Your symptoms see­m worrying. The dark red or brown stool mixed with mucus and re­ctal pain points to issues in your intestines. Additionally, he­art pain and a high white blood cell count raise conce­rns. Vancomycin usually treats bacterial infections, not the­se symptoms. It's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist. They can evaluate­ you properly based on your test re­sults and medical history.

Realted to gallbladder wall thinking

Male | 35

If you have gallbladder wall thickening, it is recommended to get a gastroenterologist to do further diagnosis. This syndrome may simply be a precursor to other issues, as such gallstone or pancreatitis.

My name is aarti. I am 27 year old female. I have been suffering from diarrhea for 5 days but for the last 2 days I am urinating more frequently. I urinate 5-10 minutes after drinking water and it feels as if something else will also come out with the urine.

Female | 27

You may be suffering from a UTI and diarrhea. UTI can cause frequent urination and a feeling of discomfort in the bladder. UTI and diarrhea can sometimes occur simultaneously. A good way to improve your health is by drinking a lot of water and going to the doctor so you can get antibiotics.

From yesterday night hiccups on and off

Male | 74

Hiccups are little jumps in your body when the muscles around your chest and stomach twitch. They can arise from eating too quickly, excitement, and anxiety. Typically, they pass away on their own after a brief period. You may attempt drinking water more slowly or breathing deeply, to calm them down. If they continue for a long time and are a nuisance to you, let someone know to make sure everything is okay.

naf ke niche dard hoti hai aur gas ban jaati hai aur peshab bar bar aata hai raat ke time aur htlam bahut hota hai

Male | 30

You are experiencing pain near the navel, are experiencing gases, and regularly urinate at night. They might be symptoms of a urinary tract infection or a prostate condition. Drinking enough water and eating a diet rich in fibers can help with the gas build-up. To effectively handle such symptoms, visit a doctor for diagnosis and treatments.

Male | 30

You likely have a reduced appetite and feel full after meals, along with a habit of drinking alcohol frequently. These symptoms could indicate a possible digestive issue caused by heavy alcohol use. Alcohol irritates the stomach, leading to less hunger and a feeling of fullness. To improve your appetite and stomach health, try reducing or eliminating alcohol, eat smaller meals more frequently, and include more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Remember, moderate alcohol consumption is key to maintaining overall health.

i have pain in abdomen .

Female | 25

Stomach pain is no fun. It might seem like a small issue, but it could indicate something serious. It could be just gas or something you ate that disagreed with you. Or maybe it's a bug going around. But don't ignore it—conditions like appendicitis require medical attention. Stay hydrated and eat bland foods. If the pain persists or worsens, see a doctor. While belly aches are common, some need treatment.
