You are suffering from infection of stomach and intestine , and blood in stools indicates that infection is most probably bacterial - which means you will need a course of antibiotic .I'll suggest you Oflox O 200mg twice a day for 5 days.For symptomatic relief take T.Lomotil - 2 tablets at a time for loose motion and can repeat after 12hrs .For vomiting-T Pan DSR 40mg -once daily before breakfast for 5 days.
