Suggest Treatment For Pain During A Bowel Movement
Question: my son has pain everytime he needs to poo.I've tried prune juice but,he won't drink it all.
Brief Answer:
He should get an antibiotic.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such symptom is very characteristic for an infection in the urinary tract. Most likely its urethra and bladder infection.
Juice only wont treat it. You should rather take him to a doctor so he can have urine analysis done and urine culture.
Having this tests, allows to determine the treatment. Most likely he should have an antibiotic treatment.
If the situation keeps recurring, urologist consult is necessary.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

I'm gonna take him in tomorrow.this happened 3 days ago.he just got over the stomach flu,all of us did.now this happens every time he needs to poo.this is his second time this happened.last time I gave him prune juice with a little milk.that night he went poo.2 diapers full but,it was a paste yellow diarrhea form.then he was better afterwards.
Brief Answer:
Probiotic should help.
Detailed Answer:
That makes things a little bit different. Stomach flu makes a huge mess in the intestines destroying intestinal bacteria. Good intestinal bacteria are necessary to protect intestines against bad bacteria and viruses.
As it is shortly after the flu, such symptoms are quite normal. You may try to give him probiotic before you will take him to the doctor. Probiotic contains good intestinal bacteria and should normalize intestines.
As he has stomach pain and diarrhea, please give him BRAT diet (banana, rice, apple juice, toast). Other foods should be rather avoided.
If in next 2 days he wont be better, than you should take him to the doctor. But try such treatment first.
