Hi, thank you for the question. your child looks constipated. He is having blood in stools and pruritis ani because of the hard stools which while coming out causes small tear in the sensitive anal skin hence the child is scared to go to the toilet. usually when i see such cases i put a bisacodyl suppository and advice them laxatives for a week or two and advice them regarding diet. Thank you
