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.

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.

The bleeding and the discharge of the mucus from the anus together with poop could be a symptom of inflammation in the intestines. This could be the result of a condition like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or infections. It is crucial to consume fiber-rich foods, take a lot of water, and not to strain during bowel movements. If these signs persist, seek medical help from a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Bleeding from anus No lumps Not sore Stomach is fine
Female | 30
Presence of blood in your stool but without the presence of lumps or pain can be a result of a condition called hemorrhoids. These are swollen blood vessels inside your rectum that may bleed when you have bowel movements. A much less common cause could also result from anal fissure or an infection. Diet should be fiber-based and patients should always have their bottom cleaned. If it is a matter of persisting hemorrhoids, then you must urgently see a gastroenterologist for proper advice.

Male | 16
You might be experiencing gas buildup in your belly, which can cause loud noises and a feeling of extra weight. The pain could also be related to issues with your belly button, and attempts to fix it might have made things worse. Gentle exercises and warm beverages can help move the gas out. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to consult a gastroenterologist for appropriate care.

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.

I have done blood test, stool test, urine test and every tests are normal except bilirubin is 35 umol/L and urea is 2.7 L and little deficiency of vitamin B12.

Your digestive issues might be due to problems with food absorption or digestion. Symptoms like gas, stomach pain, and changes in stool could indicate issues with how you process food. Undigested food in your stool and watery bowel movements might suggest digestive problems. Even though your blood, stool, and urine tests were normal, elevated bilirubin levels, low urea, and vitamin B12 deficiency may point to underlying conditions that need attention. Eating a balanced fiber-rich diet and staying hydrated could help with your symptoms. Probiotics or digestive enzymes might also support gut health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to consult a gastroenterologist to explore the best treatment options.

Female | 23
A common cause of stomach pain may be appendicitis which is the swelling of the appendix that leads to discomfort. It could be shown in an ultrasound, but maybe not. Visit a doctor to be examined in detail and thereby the one who will advise you on the right treatment which is mainly prescription drugs or surgery to remove the appendicitis. Look for symptoms like worsening pain, fever, or vomiting, which could indicate a more serious issue.

My mother is experiencing stomach ache in the previous month at the lower left abdominal portion. The pain is neither too sharp nor too dull. But it happens continuously. Whenever I give the medicine it goes away. Otherwise not any symptoms were noticed. What should I do now?
Female | 58
This kind of pain can be a result of constipation, air in the bowels, or even a muscle strain. You are lucky that the pain is relieved by the medicine, but it is crucial to establish the issue that is causing her pain. Keeping track of her dietary choices and doing activities that might be causing pain is a good idea if you do it like this is important. Instruct her to consume more liquids and fiber-rich foods, while you take care to eliminate any foods which might cause her discomfort. If the pain persists, you should visit a gastroenterologist.

I face stomach pain like warmth
Female | 22
A stomachache that feels warm can be a symptom of an underlying condition that may arise from food or drink. Spicy things, overdoing it, or issues with stomach acid can trigger that. Besides, other symptoms such as bloating or discomfort may occur. Drinking lots of water and avoiding foods that trigger them are the best strategies to alleviate the pain. If the pain persists or worsen, it is better to go to the gastroenterologist.
