Please contact your physician to arrange for an examination of stool. Microscopical examination of the stool is needed. A picture of the material will not suffice to answer your question. Wish you good health!

Definitely worth checking as a mixed infection appears likely. A stool sample should clarify so that treatment can address actual infection. Your doc will be your best reference, but an urgent care should be a reasonable alternate.
