What is the reason for blood streaks in the baby's stool?

Patient's question:

Today there are blood streaks in the stool, and for the past four days, I've had a slight fever. About the past treatment and its effectiveness: I have been taking fever-reducing. What help do you need: I want to know if there is a problem.

Doctor's answer:

Observe for a few more days. If the fever improves and there are no more blood streaks, it's not a big problem. However, if the fever improves but blood streaks appear in the stool, it's best to take the child to a children's hospital for a check-up. Rectal polyps are relatively common in young children, and the main symptom of rectal polyps is blood in the stool, without pain or other symptoms.
Lifestyle care: Always ensure the child's bowel movements are smooth. Encourage the child to drink more water. If the child is breastfed, it's recommended that the mother also pay attention to dietary fiber intake.
