Suggest treatment for abdominal pain and blood in stools of a child
Patient: My son 4 1/2 had prurititus ani. We treated it but since then he is scared to go to the toilet. Says his testicles are sore when he goes and he has blood in his stool - bright red on toilet paper. he also moans sometimes he has pain in his lower abdomen Doctor: Hi, thank you for the question. your child looks constipated. He is having blood in stools and pruritis ani because of the hard stools which while coming out causes small tear in the sensitive anal skin hence the child is scared to go to the toilet. usually when i see such cases i put a bisacodyl suppository and advice them laxatives for a week or two and advice them regarding diet. Thank you
