Patient's question:
The boy is two months old and has three bowel movements a day, one of which is accompanied by a small amount of blood streaks. Each bowel movement is relatively hard and yellow. What should I do??? Previously, a routine blood test was conducted, and there were no issues.Doctor's answer:
The baby's stool has blood streaks. If the stool is dry, the blood streaks are attached to the surface of the stool, which may be due to constipation, dry stool, and scraping the inner wall of the anus. In this case, it is necessary to give the child more easily digestible foods, supplement more water, and eat more vegetables and fruits. You can also take probiotics for a period of time to regulate the intestines. If the baby's stool is normal but thin and watery, with blood streaks, this may be due to possible gastrointestinal inflammation. In this case, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for relevant examinations to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.
