Hello and welcome
I appreciate your concern
Based on your description it appears to be infectious diarrhea. If there is blood in stool and associated fever with leucocytosis then antibiotics need to be initiated. Fluid replacement should be done to avoid dehydration. Antispasmodic medication like hyoscine can be advised for the cramps and spasm.
please consult your doctor before taking any further course of action
Wishing you best of health
