When to Seek Medical Care

• Rectal bleeding or severe pain in the abdomen or rectum requires immediate medical attention.
  
  
• Persistent or frequent diarrhea, abdominal pain, or vomiting warrants a prompt visit to your child's health care provider.
  
  
• A child with unexplained weight loss, fatigue, joint pain, stunted growth, pubertal delay, or other conditions unusual in a child should be evaluated by a medical professional.
