What Can Causes Blood In Stool In Children?
My 2 year old son had blood in his stool. The stool was not hard. It was soft but not diarrhea. That was his 2nd bowel movement of the day. He is not on any antibiotics. He has never had blood in his stool before. Is this something to be concerned about? Also what are some causes for this to happen
