Child Grabbing Lower Back After Ureter Blockage Removal Is A Cause For Concern?
my 14 month old had a surgery to remove a blockeage from his right ureter 3 months ago and everything seems to be doing great. He has a little diarrhea episode the past 3 days and it s over now, but he every now and then seems to grab at his right lower back, not in pain just puts his hand there, so I m wondering if it should be of concern given his back history. He never got a fever with the stomach issue and was acting fine otherwise.He is 14 months old, 26 lbs and 32 inches. Thank you

Hi...by what you say I feel these are the possibilities -
1. Skin excoriation due to diarrhea.
2. Worm infestation
I suggest you de-worm him once.
