What Causes Loose Stools With Soreness At Rectum In A Child?
My daughter is 6yrs old and has since tiny had troubles with her tummy and going to the toilet! She was on medication as a baby for reflux and had trouble going to the toilet. She now more often than not has loose stools and every now and then we have endless nights of her crying as she says her bottom hurts! Do you think this could be caused by the loose stools making her sore or could there be a more serious medical condition i should worry about? Regards Kim

Hi,
And from the symptom analysis which you are telling, I feel that we need to consider two possibilities here -
1. Irritable bowel syndrome.
2. Inflammatory bowel disease.
May I suggest that you discuss these two possibilities with your paediatrician and get an appropriate evaluation for your kid, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
