Patient's question:
My baby is 8 months old. He has bloody stools. Taking some medicine helps, but after stopping the medicine, it starts again after 2 to 3 days. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you: In this case, the baby is mainly considered to be suffering from intestinal inflammation caused by a cold or a viral infection. A stool test should be done. It is important to pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm and maintain a light diet. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid cold drinks and fried, spicy, or irritating foods. This needs to be checked first to determine the cause and then treated accordingly.
