Hi my 19 month old daughter had a fall today I monitered her afterwards and she was fine but she passed some stools about an hour or so afterwards and I saw some blood in the stools and Im worried if this is not from the fall, taking into consideration that she has been constipated for awhile now so I dont know If that is why there was a little bit of blood?
Hello dear! As per your history, it can be due to constipation leading to anal fissure. Fall can never be associated with blood in stools.I would recommend a detailed examination by a pediatrician especially per rectal examination to rule out anal fissure or rectal polyp(both can cause blood in stools). If fissure is there, apply Glycerine initiate + lidocaine gel to relax the anal sphincter and can also give sits bath with iodine in Luke warm water to disinfect the area, and it will help in healing. Avoid constipation by taking fiber diet and lots of fluid intake especially water. Avoid potatoes, polished rice and bakery items. Hope it will help. Be blessed
