Am I having dysentery or acute gastroenteritis?

Patient's question:

During the Spring Festival, I guess I ate too much, so my stomach suddenly started to hurt. Then I always felt like I needed to have a bowel movement. It was about three times a day. The doctor prescribed me a box of Chuang Wang anti-inflammatory capsules. The result of my stool test was: yellow, mucous, W1-2/up. I don't understand what this English means and need some help. After taking the medicine for four days, I still feel occasional mild stomach pain. Should I keep taking this medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the above situation is a manifestation of gastroenteritis, which is mainly related to factors such as diet, lifestyle, and emotions. In this case, it is recommended that you continue taking the aforementioned medication. Additionally, in the near future, avoid eating sour, spicy, and irritating foods, refrain from alcohol, drink more water, and consume less greasy food. The above suggestions are for this issue, and it is hoped that they will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
