my son, age 6, fell while playing a week
ago. He has recently had some urinary leakage and today c/o hard stool with some bleeding (bright red). he is still c/o some soreness in his coccyx/sacral area. could this all be related possibly due to a fracture from the fall and what could be done if anything? (the fall was on grass).
