Patient's question:
My child is 9 months old. Recently, they have been having diarrhea with some blood in the stool. Today, I took them to the hospital for a stool test, but it couldn't be done because the child is uncomfortable with their stomach. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the clinical data you provided, considering pediatric diarrhea, it is clinically related to indigestion, external abdominal colds, etc. The possibility of dry stools is greater due to the rupture of lymphatic follicles at the lower end of the rectum.Advice and Suggestions: It is recommended to use probiotics orally under the guidance of a local pediatrician. If necessary, check the cause of the blood in the stool. The child should drink more water in the next two days. If the child is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to her diet, as otherwise, it may also worsen the child's diarrhea.
