Patient's question:
I had diarrhea a few days ago, and it has improved in the last two days. Today, my stool contained blood (the initial stool was normal, not dry or watery, but the later stool was like thick blood). There were no other symptoms. Could you please explain why this happened?Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, it may be that the child's intestinal infection has not been effectively suppressed, meaning the child's gastroenteritis has not been completely treated and cured. I suggest you give the child pediatric amoxicillin granules and strictly follow the dosage instructions. Do not increase the dosage at will. If there is no improvement after three days, please consider intravenous treatment. Please note that this is not a face-to-face consultation and the advice is for reference only. The above suggestions are for the question "What's wrong when a 17-month-old baby has blood in their stool?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
