What should I do if my baby's stool contains red and viscous substances?

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: Red, viscous material mixed with stool. Stool is normal and no stool test has been performed. Past Treatment and Effect: No treatment has been administered. Desired Help: Want to know the cause.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the analysis of your condition, it is recommended to check and test your stool to determine whether it is infantile indigestion or intestinal inflammation. You should also pay attention to whether it is caused by a cold leading to intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, it is suggested to take oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Barberry Jiaipi Oral Liquid) and Smecta. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Drink more water.
If you are introducing complementary foods, you should pause the addition or reduce the amount of complementary foods. Gradually resume adding them once your condition improves. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest. I hope my answer is helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
