Question
Hello doctor,
I have had bloody stools 2 days ago, loose stools. I tend to be constipated. Last month, I took antibiotics and medication for acid reflux. Doctor let me ask if it is dangerous to have loose stools with blood in it? What medicine can I take to reduce bleeding? I'm afraid I have colitis and internal hemorrhoids. Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank you.
