My mom had severe stomach ache 3 days ago. The doctor had an xray done and found that there was stool blocking her intestine. So she was given lactulose, which gave her relief when she pooped. But the stomach ache still continues till day 3 and we ve been giving her lactulose three times a day to relieve her stomach ache. Her stool yesterday was black (she s not taking iron) and today its reddish. She had a stool exam today and the results are that there are no ova/parasites seen, but there are pus cells of 2-5/HPF. She has slight hemorroids. This morning she pooped 4 times.
1. You can add some PPI like omeprazole 20 mg twice daily or pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily along with Chat Doctor. 2. Proctoscopic examination by a surgeon and upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy may be done.3. Repeat stool examination if there is some infective disorder, proper antibiotic should be given.
