    Possible blood in stool
    My almost 3 year old just started vommiting and has diarrhea her last loose stool was extremely red, bright red... she did drink red kool-aid today could that be the cause or should I bring her in?

    It could be the case, but why take the chance? Children this young can get dehydrated very quickly. I would take her to get seen.

    Agree, I always went with caution, and took child in, if it was debatable
