What should I do if my baby has red diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Please ask if my nephew is one and a half years old, and last night he had red diarrhea with some blood streaks. What should I do if the baby has red diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to first check a stool routine test and seek medical diagnosis to determine the cause of the diarrhea. There are non-infectious factors that can cause diarrhea, such as improper diet or feeding or changes in weather. Do not take medication blindly. If the child feels weak and has little urine, there is a risk of dehydration, so drink more water to prevent dehydration. If the child has dysentery and does not improve after two or three days, consider antibiotic treatment for a few days and monitor the situation. Pay close attention to hygiene and diet.
