Patient's question:
My baby is now six months old. A few days ago, there were a few instances where milk was vomited out like a fountain during feeding. Yesterday, when vomiting, I noticed a small amount of blood in the milk on her clothes, but I didn't pay much attention. Just now, I discovered that her stool also has blood in it. I've tried everything, but she still doesn't want to drink. What can I do to help her?Doctor's answer:
After a week, blood appears in the stool. First, it's important to determine whether the blood is coming from the intestines or the anus. Anus bleeding may be caused by minor tears in the anus due to dry stools. Intestinal bleeding should be considered as hemorrhagic necrotizing enteritis. However, intestinal inflammation usually causes abdominal pain and diarrhea. The child's diagnosis is not good. It is recommended to go to a children's hospital to see if it is advisable to adjust the anal source. In terms of diet, soften the stool and apply some topical medication. If it is caused by intestinal inflammation, it is best to be hospitalized for treatment.
