Hi...what you are seeing is a temporary rectal prolapse. This is quite common in kids of this age especially when they are having diarrhea. You need not worry about it. It is a temporary phenomenon. If it is still persisting after 2 weeks - then I suggest you seek the consultation of your pediatrician.
