The child's stool is somewhat like cauliflower, with some red blood appearing in the stool.

Patient's question:

The child's bowel movements are somewhat like cauliflower. Some are like continuous mucus, with 4 or 5 bowel movements a day, due to insufficient breast milk, so they are mixed with formula. Recently, at four and a half months, they had a few bowel movements, then it improved for a few days, then it returned, and they also ate less. The stool has some red blood. I bought some medicine to take, but it didn't help. It happened twice in a row, improved, then returned. Please ask, what is going on? Is it serious? How should it be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Infant diarrhea within six months, if no other accompanying symptoms, is physiological diarrhea. It is usually caused by breastfeeding. If the child is in good spirits, has good skin elasticity, and cries with tears, there is no need to worry. It is likely physiological diarrhea, which will naturally improve after six months. The above advice is for the question "How to treat child's bowel movements that look somewhat like cauliflower with some red blood streaks?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
