Suggest Treatment For Blood In Stool Of A 2 Year Old Child
My 2 year old grandson has blood in his stool which was hard yesterday. His mom said she told dr. 2 weeks ago that it happens sometimes. She told me nothing to worry about just needs more fiber. What do you think? He turned 2 on October 30. Thank you.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have blood in stool of a 2 year old child . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like anal fissure , skin infection around the anus diarrhea , shigella , salmonella or campylobacter infections . I would suggest you to consult pediatrician for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order stool test and do physical examination . Doctor may prescribe laxative along with antibiotics like amoxicillin .
