Hi
Welcome to the HCM
It seems that your child has some bleeding vessel most likely a haemorrhoid which lead to the clinical symptoms. Don't worry. It usually occurs due to constipation, malnutrition or inherited tendency. So, try to avoid constipation or hard stools by plenty of oral fluids daily along with fibre rich diet. Also, enrich his daily fit with proteins. You may use stool softener such as lactulose or liquid paraffin if required.
In case, the problem persists then visit a pediatric surgeon for clinical examination and definitive treatment.
Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
