A member asked:

Good evening. my 3 year old daughter has been having bright red blood around her stool from time to time the last couple of weeks. should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: This sounds like constipation if its around the stool. You should increase her fluid intake and also have a pediatrician examine her rectal area to see what might be the problem. Do not try laxatives unless under the guidance of a licensed pediatrician
