Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
There is white mucus layer on stool, actually I am suffering since last month. There were two drops of blood after stool had passed and after 5 days at night I had stool with mucus and the next day I went to washroom four times with mild pain in abdominal and I went to the doctor he prescribed me Ciplox TZ, and Vyzilock and one medicine for acidity and after two days because of mild pain I went to meet a specialist, he also prescribed one pro-biotic capsule of dr. ready, one tablet for acidity and shine 10 and after 15 days, I was again suffering with diarrhea, went to washroom 15 times and recovered myself and again after a few days I was again suffering with severe colon infection.
I had recovered from infection but not 100% and now there is white layer mucus on my stool and there is very light blood spot, like lace on 1 inch with, blood dot on stool is there. I have no symptoms of anus infection or itching or pain in rectum.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand how frustrating you are regarding your problem. I have reviewed your complete history and understand that you have ongoing infection within the lower part of your large bowel which is called as rectum. Medically it is termed as proctitis i.e. inflammation of rectum. The blood and mucus - which you describe a whitish layer, is common among patients suffering with proctitis.
I have seen you have taken some antibiotics however it seems the durarion of antibiotics was not okay and Ciprofloxacin (antibiotics) that you have been prescribed is no more effective in.your case. Other acid suppressant medications would not help you much in problem relating to rectum. So, I want you to start a 3 week course of antibiotic which is very safe and does not have significant side effects except in some patient it could cause mild diarrhea. It is very safe. Tablet Rifxamin 200 mg thrice daily for 3 weeks. Avoid any other medications.
You come back to me in next 1 to 2 week. I hope that your symptoms by then would go away. In case, if that does not happen, then I would ask you to get some stool and blood tests done and would further modify your treatment.
