Dysentery is more jelly-like, but especially has blood.

Diarrhea could be normal, but dysentery is always a problem.

Dysentery (or bloody flux) is an inflammatory disorder of the intestine, especially of the colon, that results in severe diarrhea containing mucus and/or blood in the feces with fever and abdominal pain.

If left untreated, dysentery can be fatal.

In developed countries, dysentery is generally a mild illness, causing mild symptoms normally consisting of mild stomach pains and frequent passage of feces.

Symptoms normally present themselves after one to three days and are usually no longer present after a week.
