A. Blood in your daughter's poop, especially if it's bright red and seen along with a cut or crack near the anus, is most likely due to anal fissures—small tears caused by passing hard stools or constipation. These are common in children and usually heal on their own with proper care. To help her heal, ensure she drinks plenty of water, eats a fiber-rich diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), and avoids constipation. You can apply a gentle healing ointment like coconut oil or zinc oxide cream to the area after cleaning. If the problem continues or the bleeding worsens, it's best to consult a pediatrician to rule out other causes and get the right treatment.

Q. #AskTheExpert I saw a drop of blood in my 2 month old baby’s poop. He had pooped 3 times continuously and on 3rd time, I saw a drop of blood. Around 3 weeks back I saw 2 or 3 streaks of blood in his poop. At that time the doctor asked us to give him probiotic powder for 3 days. And after that I’m seeing a drop of blood only now. What should I do?
