Patient's question:
At 5 months, the baby started on solid food. The stool is very thick, without nausea or vomiting, but there are always blood streaks. What could be the reason? After that, nausea and vomiting began, and there were still blood streaks. There was once a severe case of bloody watery stool, which improved after taking Amoxicillin and probiotics. Even after that, there were still intermittent blood streaks.Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that the child's condition is likely due to the intestinal mucosa not fully recovering.Advice: When the child does not exhibit intestinal symptoms, do not provide complementary foods to prevent further strain on the gastrointestinal tract. It is essential to ensure that the child's stool is completely free of blood streaks for at least two weeks before gradually reintroducing complementary foods. If the child is formula-fed, you can give them a period of anti-nausea and vomiting formula until their bowel movements return to normal, then switch back to regular formula.
