Anus hurt

[Anonymous]

Right before bathtime & clothing off, my 2.5 year old ds has been scratching his anus & says hurt at his anus for last 5 days. He grabs petroleum jelly for me to put it on his anus. Other time, he never says anything. He just recovers from a bad virus with 10 days of antibiotic completed.

I have looked at his anus, not super red, no obvious worms (with my eyes looking at it), and he has no diaper rash. He is potty trained, wears underwear all the time, except diaper at nighttime just in case. Is this something I should be concerned or take himnto his pediatrician? I am suspicious he may have a tear at anus tissuebecause he pops every 2 to 3 days.

What kind of Nanny are you?!

You are asking a Nanny forum MEDICAL questions. You are the exact reason we have a 'troll' on this forum complaining about how unexperiences and uncertified our career is!

If you are the Nanny ask the Mom what she thinks. If she is normal she will say take him to the doctor.
