Question
The child has a sensation of a foreign body in the anus, which has been persistent for two days. They have been passing liquid resembling salad oil, without abdominal pain, but with a slight cold and cough.
Answer
This condition may be caused by a perianal abscess. It is recommended to go to the hospital immediately for a diagnosis and to perform potassium permanganate sitz baths daily for anti-inflammatory effects. Since children have weaker resistance and are prone to related problems, parents should remain calm and take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Under the guidance of a doctor, symptomatic medication should be administered to ensure the child’s health.
