I have dysentery with sticky white traces in my stool, what medicine should I take?

Asked by Male, 32 · 9 days ago

Having dysentery with sticky white mucus suggests an intestinal infection, which could be bacterial (like bacillary dysentery) or parasitic (like amoebiasis). Please avoid taking over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications like loperamide, as they can trap toxins in your system and worsen the infection. Your immediate priority is to prevent dehydration by drinking Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and clean fluids. You will likely need prescription-strength antibiotics or antiprotozoal medications, but the exact treatment depends on a stool test. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional promptly for an accurate diagnosis and proper prescription.
