Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic
In most of the cases high temperature (fevers), is due to an infection in your body. The most of them are viral. You say you have stomach ache and mucous laiden stools in your description.
Have you cramps, or watery stools too?
It seems you are having a gastrointestinal infection and in your case it's probably a bacterial one.
So to manage that antibiotics are needed. I would recommend you the same antibiotic you are already taking, Ciprofloxacin twice daily for at least 7 days. Meanwhile you can keep the high temperature under control with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Always try to take these pills after meals and with plenty of water because your stomach is very sensible now.
Have a balanced and light diet, with liquids and watery foods.
At the same time I would recommend you lactic ferments to prevent the side effects of the antibiotic and arrange the bacterial flora in your intestine.

I hope this answer was helpful to you!
Please kindly rate it and write a short review about your experience with me!
Thank you and best regards!
