Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

AS per your query you have symptoms of blood in stools which seems to be due to infection in gastrointestinal tract, hemorrhoids, fissure, fistula on anus, and could be rectal polyp.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Give laxatives or stool softeners to child.

- Give diet rich in fresh fruits and give plenty of fluids.

- Give Sitz bath twice daily.

Visit gastroenterologist once and get complete examination done. You should egt colonoscopy done as per instructions and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
