If symptom is bleeding it is more likely a fissure.

Milk is a binder, so don’t let her over do it.

Limiting time sitting on toilet could help. Discourage the urge to push.

How’s his fiber and water intake?

Warm baths will help with pain.

You may also start putting him on the toilet for a minute or two after meals to help stimulate the elimination reflex. Those training potties that look like a bowl on the floor could be useful so he can squat. He might be constipated and is straining.

My DC had a chronic fissure. Not a hemorrhoid.

Ask your pediatrician.

Hi - my almost two year old seems to have a hemorrhoid. I will of course consult with a pediatrician but Im wondering if anyone had experienced this also? I read it was pretty uncommon for toddlers to have it. Thank you.
