On Christmas Eve, I began to experience chills and body aches and took Tylenol to alleviate the aches.  I took 2 every two hours for about 48 hours.  I ended up going to the ER on Dec. 26th when my problems didnt go away.  In fact, I then got fever and diarrhea.  The ER doctor said I had a viral illness and it needed to run its course.  He also suggested alternating Motrin and Tylenol for the body aches.  That afternoon I noticed clots of blood in my stool.  I still have the diarrhea, but now it is reddish (blood) in color.Could there be a correlation between the Tylenol and the bloody stool?
Hello. There is no co-relation between intake of acetaminophen and bloody stool. If bloody stool persists you should go to Emergency Service as soon as possible to rule out complicated infection or other intestinal pathology. I wish you good health.(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
