Question
What could be the reasons for a child’s stool to contain blood?
Answer
Bloody stool could indicate bleeding from the colon, rectum, or anus, which is often a sign of an organic disease and should be diagnosed and treated promptly. Children have weaker resistance and are more prone to such issues, so parents should take their child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment, and follow the doctor’s advice to take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication.
