What Causes Pain In The Anus During The Night?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
For the last few nights my five year old son keeps complaining his anus hurts. He never complains during the day..or even when he has a bowel movement. He has a bowel movement 1 -2 times a day..so he is regular. There is no redness or swelling. As soon as I put something cold on it like Desitin his squirming and uncomfortableness stops...I usually have to go back in the room after 5 minutes to put Desitin on for the second time before he completely stops complaining. It seems genuine that he is in some sort of pain. I am just not sure what is going on?

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having some parasitic infection like pin worm or thread wiorm.
At night it come out through rectum causing discomfort during night only.
Go for stool test for ova and cyst.
After report a course of anti-worm medicine like Albendazole will cure his problem.
Keep his nail clean and well cut.
Ok and take care.
