Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child has been experiencing persistent diarrhea for half a month, with visible blood streaks in the stool and occult blood but no bacteria detected. From these symptoms and test results, it appears that the child's gastrointestinal function is disrupted, but there is no serious illness. It is recommended to stop all medication and take the child to a regular hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine department for acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. It is believed that improvement will be seen within 2 to 3 days, and the child should recover completely within a week or two.
