Patient's question:
A one-year-old child has green diarrhea, sometimes with blood streaks. They received a shot today, but it had no effect. What should be done in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Hello. If the baby doesn't have a fever or other symptoms, and only has green stools, the blood streaks may be caused by anal fissures during bowel movements. Generally, blood in the intestines is mixed with the stool, not carried as streaks outside. Without other symptoms, you can focus on the current treatment for the baby, as the course of the illness requires time, and the treatment period is relatively short, with less noticeable effects. It is recommended to continue the treatment and carefully observe any changes in the child's condition. If other symptoms persist, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
