What Could Be The Reason For Getting Blood In Child's Stool?

Hi my daughter just went to go potty and when I wiped her she had blood on the toilet paper and she said it hurts down there. It does smell a little off. She had a few blood stains and a few yellowish stains in her underwater. No fever, no other symptoms.. I m real worried because of the blood!!!!

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Seeing blood in the stool can produce worry. however, in most cases because is hard stools as a result of constipation. Frequently, this can be relieved with simple over the counter stool softeners. We can start with something is easy as prune juice in the diet everyday. May not be a child favorite drink, but it is good for softening stools. In most cases, once the stools have softened, the pain during bowel movements decrease, and the appearance blood ceases.
