Hi and thanks for the query,
Its important you take him back to consultation. It would be appropriate for a reevaluation by your physician. This could probably be a relapse, or requires readaptation of the treatment. Complications of ulcerative colitis like intestinal perforations, which is however rare must be considered and excluded well ahead of time. Severe dehydration due to excessive stooling could set in, and considering the fact he is nauseating, treating him with intravenous fluids at this point in time to avoid severe dehydration would be a good option.
I suggestive you take him back to his physician for reevaluation.
Thanks and best regards,
Luchuo, MD.
