Is it normal to have blood in the stool of a 4-year-old child, not on the toilet paper, just in the bottom of the toilet?

It is not normal for a 4-year-old child to have blood in their stool, even if there is no blood on the toilet paper. This could indicate a bleeding in the rectum, likely caused by constipation or hard stools. It is important to soften the stools by increasing fluid intake or giving a stool softener. If the child's condition worsens or you are concerned, seek medical advice.
