Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Bloody diarrhea is almost always due to a bacterial infection. Antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin and anti-protozoal such as Tinidazole will have to be given.
So it will be better to see a primary care physician nearby who may investigate before starting the treatment.
I hope it helps!
Please feel free to ask more questions.
