Hi,

You can have enterocolitis like the infective condition of intestine or colon. Diverticulitis also can be possible.

So you need to investigate further with stool routine micro examination to check if any organism or pus cells if present. Broad spectrum antibiotic also can be prescribed.

If no improvement then you need to consult a surgeon for proctoscopy examination to look for piles. I suggest you take rabeprazole like antacid as well.

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

Take care

Regards,
