Hello
I appreciate your concern
This could be due to any of these
Acute Gastroenteritis
Fissure in Ano or Hemorrhoids may be dur to prolonged constipation
Gastrointestinal bleeding as a side effect of antibiotics

i would like to know about what all medicines you had

In my opinion you should consult a gastroenterologist for examination and an endoscopy/colonoscopy if need be.

You should take anti acidity medications like PPI group as pantoprazole and antacids

Have plenty of fluids including ORS and fruit juices
Avoid constipation by taking laxatives or stool softening agent like liquid paraffin
Sitz bath twice daily
Hope this helps you
please feel free to ask for more clarification I will be happy to help you
