Hi;
Rectal bleeding, fever, constipation and abdominal pain for a time indicates diverticulitis or other inflammatory bowel diseases. You may also have a fecaloma (a fecaloid mass) which must be removed by a surgeon. You must visit a general surgeon for examination and intervention if necessary.
Hope you recover soon
