Its Colitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Greetings from Dr Divakara P.
Thanks for posting your query.

Pain abdomen with blood in stools indicate Colitis ( Infection of bowel ) . Most of the time this happens due to food poisoning and needs treatment with proper antibiotic.

I recommend you to get a prescription for an antibiotic. I usually prescribe Ofloxacin + Ornidazole for 3-5 days. You can get a prescription for the same.

In addition you need to take anti spasmodic medications like cyclopam till you are relieved of pain . Also drink plenty of water and fruit juices. Avoid non veg food and avoid eating outside.

If your symptoms persists even after doing all these then you need to get Stool culture sensitivity test and ultrasound abdomen pelvis scan.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.

Regards.
