4 years kid having blood in his stool sometimes. It's been observed two times now in three weeks that there was some blood coming during stool. Observations - Fresh blood coming. No loose motion. No pain as such. No abdominal cramps. Through out whole day, kid is playing well and not crying over any pain or telling about any stomach issues. Since, we are not seeing any symptoms as such but observing blood two times in a 15 days period raise concerns. Not sure what could be the reasons now.

It could be something else. Fresh blood in stool is rare in an other wise normal baby. Red colour of the stool may be due to beetroot or watermelon consumption. Observe whether he is having this after consuming these food items.Palpate the abdomen and see if any mass is there.  You should check with a Pediatric surgeon.
