Suggest Treatment For Child Passing Blood In Stools
Dear Doctor, A Happy New Year to you at first. My nephew has been passing stool with drops of blood since the last 2-3 months.He has been suggested to go for a colonoscopy. Since he is only 5 years old,so we are worried. Can you please tell what should be done now? Do we need to come down to Chennai at your place or this condition can be treated in Bengal only? If so please recommend us the name of a good Pediatric Doctor who will be able to take care of the entire matter. Based on your valuable information we shall be acting fast. Thanks & Regards, S.Chakraborty Siliguri. Mobile : 0000

Hello,
By what you say I feel that we need to rule out a colonic for rectal polyp.
He might require a colonoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
