What is the situation when a baby has bright red blood streaks in their stool?

Patient's question:

The baby is generally in good health. This afternoon, when the baby had a bowel movement, there were many small red blood streaks in it, but the baby showed no abnormalities. Subsequently, due to feeling unwell, the baby was taken to the local hospital for a detailed stool examination. The examination revealed a weak positive result for occult blood: (–). They advised me to wait and see, but the baby just had another bowel movement. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Most children get colds because of low immunity and poor resistance, which is a common issue. Prevention is key to treatment. Suggestions: It is recommended to pay attention to taking children outdoors for more physical activities to enhance their physical fitness, and also to ensure they drink plenty of water. If the child does not have a fever, it is advised to take some antibiotics, such as cephalosporins or penicillins, or use some heat-clearing and detoxifying oral liquids. If a fever reappears, you can take some ibuprofen oral liquid.
