Hello,
The same bacterium that causes Strep throat can cause an infection of the anal area that is bright red and very painful. I advise you to spread his buttocks apart and carefully look at his anal area. If it is red, it will need to be treated with an antibiotic.
Sitting in a tub of warm (not hot) water for 10 to 15 minutes, then getting up, patting the painful area gently, and applying Vaseline or A&D Ointment may provide some relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Arnold Zedd
