Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Blood in panties of 2 year old is most commonly caused by two conditions- gastro-enteritis (may be associated with loose stools and pain / discomfort on passing stools, abdominal pain and sometimes fever) or urinary infection (may have discomfort / crying on micturition, vomiting or fever). For such cases, I used to give a 5 day course of antibiotics after confirming diagnosis. Kindly discuss with your doctor. To comment on sexual abuse, we need a detailed assessment of domiciliary surroundings end genital examination to assess vaginal orifice and and any vulval bruises.

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

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
