<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query. Read the history and understood the problems. You have got a flu and are getting OK with medicines. The appearance of blood in the stool and pain in abdomen and nausea can be due to Stomach flu or an active infection of the intestines. The blood in the stool can be due to piles also. I would advise you the following:Get an examination of the anal area for fissure and piles by photocopy. If present, get treated accordingly by mild laxative if you have hard stooled, take plenty of water orally, have Site bath in a tub of warm water. If no fissure or piles, take a 5-day course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and Probiotics, multivitamins. I hope this all will settle in a few days if you take proper care.
