What Causes Blood After Bowel Movement In Child?

I have notice very slight traces of blood on the toilet paper after my 4 yr old son has a BM. It is not every time and it is slight. It has been inconsistent over the last month. Stool does appear pretty hard. No trace of blood in or on the stool. I plan to speak to our pediatrician next week when we are there for a flu shot. Should I be worried?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks so much for consulting in HealthcareMagic. Your son has usual problem because his stool is very solid, don't worry, but pay attention to his anus, it seems he has fissure there, it looks like as scratch in red colour, you can give him calmol suppositoria 1 supp before night per rectum 5 days for healing, also you can do oil enema- 10-15 ml usual sunflower or olive oil after bowel movement, but he should lay in the bed 15 min for resorbtion. Please start to give him boiled blended beet roots with a little salt, garlic or onion and sunflower or olive oil for laxative effect.In addition you can give him carrot and beet roots, orange fresh juice, apples, more fibre food and raw vegetables-tomato, cucumber, he should drink more water and eat soup every day

Best regards
