Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
The problem that your child is facing is not commonly seen in this age group. Bright red blood and increased quantity is not suggestive of infection alone and I am thinking of a surgical cause a possibility. Most probably due to some injury at the exit point of the stools. You Need to consult doctor at the earliest and you might need to meet a pediatric surgeon too. Wish your child a good health. Take care.
