Patient's question:
The baby is 56 days old today. After birth, he was diagnosed with "thrombocytopenic purpura" and now has a platelet count of around 80,000 after treatment. The child's mental state and appetite are normal, but there has been persistent occult blood in his stools, especially when he has loose stools. Occasionally, there are small amounts of red blood cells and white blood cells, with visible fresh blood. How should we treat this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, your baby's condition is quite serious, as the presence of occult blood in the stool indicates intestinal mucosal bleeding caused by thrombocytopenia. It is necessary to receive proper medical treatment in a hospital. Currently, the baby has undergone a stool test at the hospital, and the routine examination shows a positive occult blood result. It is considered that the baby has already developed symptoms of gastroenteritis. It is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
