Does Bug Bite Cause Bloody Diarrhea?
my son was bit on the forearm, back, abdomen, and cheek by something. Within 24 hours severe redness and swelling. MD prescribed OTC Bendadryl and prescribed hydrocortisone cream. Swelling and redness disipated and within 6 hrs he started with bloody diarrhea. Is there a bug bite that can cause that?

Thanks for contacting HCM with you medical concerns
You are concerned about your son developing bloody diarrhea after being bitten several times by an unknown insect. Since your son has bloody diarrhea I recommend that he be seen immediately by a medical professional. This is a medical emergency and should be evaluation as soon as possible
