Hi, Blood in panties of 2-year-old is most commonly caused by two conditions- gastroenteritis (maybe associated with loose stools and pain / discomfort on passing stools, abdominal pain and sometimes fever) or urinary infection (may have discomfort / crying on micturition, vomiting or fever). For such cases, I used to give a 5-day course of antibiotics after confirming diagnosis. Kindly discuss with your doctor. To comment on sexual abuse, we need a detailed assessment of domiciliary surroundings end genital examination to assess vaginal orifice and any vulval bruises. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
