Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi dear
Welcome to the board of Health care magic,

Dear sir Your child might be developing some boil or abscess in or around the anal area.
It can only be confirmed by examining the part directly. If same is confirmed then one should start relevant antibiotic and analgesics. He may respond to this treatment.

If the child is constipated and passing hard stools. It is quite common cause of pain in the rectal area. For that we should relieve his constipation and some local anesthetic cream or gel to be applied in and around the anus to relax the sphincter.
Here also some analgesic may be required to alleviate the symptoms.

Hope your query is answered

Thanks
