Bleeding after a colonoscopy - how long for in 8yr old dd?

[sunshineandshowers13]

Hiya, my dd nearly 8 had an upper and lower endoscopy on thursday. She still seems to have a very sore tummy and is still passing little amounts of blood from her back passage. I know they took several biopsies and i did expect some "blood", but didnt expect so much discomfort even now.
Does anyone have any experience of this? Was wondering how long we could expect this to carry on for? Was planning on calling nhs 24 tomorrow if still a problem?
cheers,

Bumping for you. Hope she is better soon. We will be going through this soon with DS1 aged 3.5.

thank you bethylou [hsmile]

To be honest she coped marvelously with it all. Yes it was horrible and the cleanout bit was dire but all in all ok. The nursing staff were just great and the dr's brilliant with her too. Hope your lo's ok and goes well for him too.

Poor child :(
I'd ring the endoscopy suite on Monday and ask their advice tbh. If it gets worse you need to ring out of hours

i have the number for the surgical ward where she was and although its 350 miles away i thought i could at least ask their advice. There is very little blood but what there is is fresh and bright red so obviously something is still "open/raw" if you know what i mean!

Very good idea sunshine
I hope they help you and can reassure you
