Patient's question:
A child is three years old and occasionally has blood in his bowel movements, whether it's normal or diarrhea. What could be the reason? It's been six months.Past treatment history and effectiveness: I've consulted doctors, and they all said it's nothing to worry about.
What kind of help is needed: Should I go to the hospital for a check-up?
Doctor's answer:
A three-year-old baby occasionally has blood in their stool, whether it's normal or diarrhea, which is not normal. First, check the color of the blood—is it fresh or dark red. Then, check if the stool is dry. If it happens occasionally, it might not be a big problem, but if it occurs frequently, there might be an issue. It could be due to allergies, inflammation, or intestinal polyps, among other things. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a stool examination and other detailed tests to identify the cause before starting treatment.
