Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Bleeding during defection since few days could be due to piles,fissures, fistula or rarely any growth in rectum etc.
First you need to get examined by surgeon to rule out above possibilities.
Take quinolones antibiotics with antiprotozoals.
Anovate or Dobesil cream or ointment to be applied over anus after defecation,Hot seitz bath,Sit naked in hot warm water for 15 minutes.
Avoid alcohol,
Avoid oily and spicy foods.
Thanks and Regards,
