Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of painful bowel movements which could be due to irritable bowel syndrome, less fibers in diet, and could be due to viral gastroenteritis.
Need not to worry. You should give diet to child rich in fibers. I would suggest you to avoid eating heavy and spicy, eat small and frequent meals, eat 1-2 banana in a day and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain.
If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order certain tests like endoscopy and stool test and take history.
Doctor may prescribe loperamide , ornidazole along with anti inflammatory.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
