Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea With Blood

My fiancé has been having moderate to severe abdominal pain,real low on the left side,with diarrhea, and some bloody stools for about 3 days,along with having trouble eating. He says he s hungry,but it hurts sometimes when he does try to eat,and its extremely sore to the touch. When he can eat,it isn t very much,and it usually causes the pain to become worse.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

It seems that your fiance is suffering from acute gut infection with bacteria causing acute dysentery. My guidelines at present for best recovery:
- Allow him plenty of liquids including that of oral rehydration salt to prevent dehydration development
- Consumption of organic fresh fruits, home made juices, coconut water, lemon juice, fresh yogurt
- Avoidance of all spices, non veg if consuming
- Prescription of PGI specific antibiotics as Rifaximin or metronidazole pro biotics with lacto bacillus content anti spasmodic medications as dicyclomine or drotaverine proton pump inhibitors to sooth the gut and stomach

Certain cases do require intravenous antibiotics if oral therapy does not reveal good results or on initial presentation there are signs of grave infection or pathology. In a nutshell, he requires immediate medical attention at nearest ER without any delay.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
