HI Well come to HCM Thank for asking a question Your concern being appreciated, what you have noticed that may not be the blood but it could be diet taken even if it is the blood then it could be nonspecific if child has not got any disease, in my opinion it is nothing to worry, if the symptoms persist then stool need to be sent for lab test hope this information helps.
