Anal fissure: Keep giving him lots of fluids to keep the stool soft. If it's hard balls, small amounts of apple or prune juice may help soften it. Give foods with more fiber also. Apply a small amount of vaseline or A&D ointment just inside the anus to help heal the tissue where it is torn. When he stops having hard stools, it should heal soon. If not, see your doctor
