What Causes Diarrhea And Blood In Stool?

My 7 year old daughter has had diarrhea for the last 48 hours. There seems to be a small amount of blood in her stool, bright red, mabye from irratation in her bowels. Should I take her to the ER, is there anything they can do or just let the bug run its course, or is it something more than a stomach bug? She also seems to have severe stomach cramps.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms of your daughter seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection. I suggest doing a stool test to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile, I suggest you give her a daily probiotics and a lot of liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
