Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to this forum.
Can understand your concerns.

Blood in stool could be due to intestinal infection, or local tear or tag at anal region.

In my opinion, you should give antibiotic.
If there is no improvement in 24 hours then a visit to pediatrician should be done.

I hope this will help you.
Take care.
