Is There Any Co-relation Between Tylenol And Bloody Stool?
On Christmas Eve, I began to experience chills and body aches and took Tylenol to alleviate the aches. I took 2 every two hours for about 48 hours. I ended up going to the ER on Dec. 26th when my problems didn't go away. In fact, I then got fever and diarrhea. The ER doctor said I had a viral illness and it needed to run it's course. He also suggested alternating Motrin and Tylenol for the body aches. That afternoon I noticed clots of blood in my stool. I still have the diarrhea, but now it is reddish (blood) in color.
Could there be a correlation between the Tylenol and the bloody stool?

Hello.There is no co-relation between intake of acetaminophen and
bloody stool.If bloody stool persists you should go to Emergency Service as soon as possible to rule out complicated infection or other intestinal pathology.
I wish you good health.
