Should I Be Worried About The Diarrhea And Blood In Stool Of A 2 Year Old Child?
Hi. My 2 year old daughter had a little blood in her stool and at first her stool was normal then turned to diarrhea in the same day. Today I noticed what looks like a bruise on her hip it's purple/blue, she hasn't fallen it appeared out of nowhere. Should I be concerned are they related somehow?
