For dysentery (diarrhoea with blood) and stomach pain, you must see a doctor immediately. Dysentery requires targeted prescription medications, either antibiotics (like ciprofloxacin) or antiparasitics (like metronidazole), depending on the underlying cause. Avoid over-the-counter anti-diarrheal drugs like loperamide, as they can worsen the infection by trapping toxins in your body. For stomach pain, paracetamol is safer than ibuprofen, which can irritate your gut. Most importantly, sip Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) to prevent dehydration. Please do not self-medicate; a proper medical evaluation is essential.
