Your symptoms suggest infectious colitis or dysentery. I strongly advise against self-medicating with anti-diarrheal medicines like loperamide, as they can trap the infection in your intestines. First, focus on hydration. Drink Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) or clear fluids to prevent dehydration. Since you have urgent, sticky stools, you likely need a prescription antibiotic (such as Ciprofloxacin) or an anti-parasitic medication (like Metronidazole). Please visit a doctor immediately for a stool test to get the correct prescription. Seek urgent care if you develop a high fever, severe pain, or blood in your stool.
