What should I do if my child's stool contains mucus?

Patient's question:

At one year and one and a half months old, he picked up a yángjiao and put it in his mouth to chew. A while later, he squatted on the ground and defecated a thick stool the size of a thumb, with some blood streaks in it.

Doctor's answer:

Diarrhea. In children, diarrhea is usually considered to be caused by indigestion, viral infections, lactose intolerance, or bacterial infections. Symptoms of diarrhea are recommended to be treated with oral probiotics like Bifidus. Oral Smecta is also suggested. It is important to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. If oral rehydration salts are ineffective, hospitalization for intravenous treatment may be necessary. There are many factors that can cause pediatric digestive diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
