Patient's question:
My baby is four months old. Previously, they occasionally had bowel movements with blood streaks. The doctor prescribed a yellow powder and Cefixime granules (a 3-day supply). Today is the first day of taking the medication. After the baby took it, they had 6 or 7 bowel movements today, with 2 or 3 of them having a very small amount of blood streaks. Is this due to the medication? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby is four months old and occasionally has bowel movements with blood streaks. On the first day of taking Cefixime granules, there were extremely small amounts of blood streaks in 2 or 3 of the bowel movements. It could be a side effect of the medication. Based on the situation you described about your baby, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if my baby is four months old and has 6 or 7 bowel movements a day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
