Patient's question:
My baby is now six months old. A few days ago, there were several 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 the clothes, but I didn't pay much attention. Just now, I found that the stool also has blood in it. I've tried everything, but she still doesn't like 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 from the intestine or the anus. Anal 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 typically causes abdominal pain and diarrhea. The child's diagnosis does not look good. It is recommended to visit 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 enteritis, it is best to be hospitalized for treatment.
