Brief Answer:
Could be due to dysentery.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. In absence of constipation it is quite likely that the blood is due to dysentery. I would insist you to get his stool microscopy done. Dysentery needs to be treated with antibiotics and I would insist you to visit a doctor at the earliest so that suitable treatment can be administered.
In case of loose stools I would insist you to give ORS (oral rehydration solution) to make up for the lost water and salts.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
