Brief Answer:
hello

Detailed Answer:

Hi
I understand your concern.
Looks like you have an irritable bowel.
Worthwhile getting few basic test like cbc, (stool routine and occult blood x 3 days ), TSH, Sugar random, ECG to rule out any different cause like infection etc.
Can start isapgula husk / fiber supplement 2 tsp at night and see how you feel.
Also increase dietary fiber with salads and fruits and also increase water intake .
Regular walk and exercise will help you in long run.
Avoid excess oily spicy and junk food too.
Can revert back to me with reports.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Happy to help.

Hi
Sorry for delay in answering.
For mucus increasing dietary fiber will help, in addition can take over the counter fiber supplement like isapgula husk 2 tsp at night every day and see how you feel.
Nose block is unlikely to be related to mucus in stools, it could be a manifestation of nasal allergy or sinusitis or a deviated nasal septum.
Can try using a mask in polluted area, steam inhalation or using an air humidifier if its dry area will help in long run.
Also avoid sleeping two hours after meals as acid reflux too can aggravate nasal symptoms some time.
Best wishes.

Worthwhile getting investigations done as advised earlier.
Take only 1 tsp of isapgula husk daily.
Also can try rifagut 550 mg twice a day for 7 days with a probiotic like econorm once a day.
Mild anti spasmodic like mebiz sr twice a day will help in relieving pain too.
Also worthwhile getting an ultrasound done too to rule out other causes of pain.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
