It's about and I have had a fever for three to four days now, and today I noticed that there was some blood in my stool. I don't know what to do. My doctor's office doesn't open until 3 o'clock. I'm really scared of dying.

Hello,

First of all, don't panic. Blood in the stool usually comes from hemorrhoids and they are completely harmless.

It is sufficient if you go to the general practitioner at 3. Possibly the fever has something to do with the blood, but probably not. Have you had any problems with your intestines or abdominal pain in the past few days?

Best regards,
