What should I do if a seven-month-old baby has intestinal mucosal bleeding?

Patient's question:

All symptoms are severe stomach discomfort and diarrhea, with more than 10 sticky bowel movements a day for 3 months. It might be due to internal heat, so I used an umbilical patch and apple water, along with, which helped for once, but it didn't last for days. The baby's intestinal mucosa is damaged.

Doctor's answer:

If a patient has upper gastrointestinal bleeding, they may experience black, tarry stools or dark stools. Lower gastrointestinal bleeding is generally characterized by more vividly colored bloody stools. First, a fecal occult blood test should be conducted. A positive result indicates bleeding, while a negative result is normal, possibly due to dietary influences or other reasons.
If the child has not exhibited any symptoms of injury for a long time, the first step is to undergo antiviral treatment. By using antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications, it can effectively protect the intestinal mucosa from damage. Additionally, combining some wound-healing medications can gradually restore the child's damaged membrane areas to normal.
