There is blood on leg and on toilet paper Should I be concerned this is an ongoing problem and has been under a paediatrician. When she is constipated we have to administer 40 mls of parachoc.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Your grand daughter seems to be in lot of trouble.poor thing!
* It seems she has injured few rectal blood vessels/ mucosa & probably has developed piles. due to constipation & hard stools. Bleeding flowing up to the leg demands a check up by an ano-rectal surgeon.. to find type /extent of problem & get it treated first.
- To investigate or treat bowel infection/ worm infestation is another thing to get treated.
* After the treatment follow the advise given by the doctor plus-either of following & help her getting daily motion is important.
- add fibrous items to her food (Fruits , salads, vegetables with skins,along with lot of water through out the day.
- Addition of figs ( dry fruit, syrup )helps.
- addition of Aloevera syrup ( Kumari asava ) in prescribed dose
- Giving stool softner like Lactulose syrup daly in suitable dose.. till her constipation is gone
* helping her to form regular bowel habit will help in long run.
Thanks..
