What is the reason for red blood cells in the baby's stool?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and hasn't been eating much. Could you please explain why there are red blood cells in the baby's stool?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if there are red blood cells in your baby's stool, it may be caused by bleeding or inflammation in the baby's intestines. You can have an anal examination to check for anal fissures or hemorrhoids. Check if the bowel sounds are normal, whether there is diarrhea, and rule out enteritis or dysentery. You can drink more water, avoid getting cold, and eat a light diet. Treatment should be started after a clear diagnosis.
Constipation in children has always been a problem for parents. When treating this condition, consider general treatment. Parents must use the correct methods to help children recover from the disease as soon as possible, so as not to affect their growth and development. Therefore, it is important for parents to help children recover quickly after they fall ill.
