Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what causes a baby to have small pellets in their stool once a week?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is likely considered indigestion. It is recommended to take pepsin powder and Mimi Ai for regulation, and pay attention to keeping warm and drinking more water. First, it is necessary to determine whether it is upper gastrointestinal bleeding or lower gastrointestinal bleeding. If the stool is dark brown, this indicates upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which is more common in esophageal and gastric lesions. If the stool is bright red, it is generally indicative of bleeding from the intestines or anus (if there is significant upper gastrointestinal bleeding, the amount of blood loss may also be bright red). Based on what you mentioned about having diarrhea and bleeding, it is more likely to be bleeding from the anus or intestines. If there is no obvious pain, the possibility of rectal polyps is relatively high; if accompanied by a heavy feeling in the anus or the presence of thrombosed hemorrhoids, it may be hemorrhoids; if accompanied by anal burning pain, the possibility of anal fissure is greater. It is recommended to visit a colorectal department for an anal digital examination or a rectal endoscopy.
