What Could Be The Long Piece Of Skin That Came Out From The Anus Of A 2 Year Old?

I just pulled something out of my daughter s butt. She is 2 1/2 years old and has been complaining of her butt hurting for a month. They put her on Miralax, but she still complains. What i pulled out of her butt looked like a long piece of pulled beef. It was stringy but lumped together. I ve seen this several times now, but this was the longest piece. Any idea on what it could be?

Hi, the long stringy thing that you removed could be a tapeworm or any other parasite. This is also the cause of constipation which required Miralax and is also the cause of pain in the abdomen. Give your child Tablet Albendazole 400 mg single tablet. Repeat the dose after 1 week. She should be alright in a few days. Give her some supplements in form of Bcomplex as infestation leads to malabsorbtion. Syp A to Z 5 ml twice a day will be helpful.
Thanks and regards.
