Newborn lactose intolerance, blood in the stool, what to do

Patient's question:

Just two days after the baby was born, I noticed that the baby had blood in their stool again. The doctor said this could be caused by lactose intolerance. What should I do if a newborn with lactose intolerance has blood in their stool?

Doctor's answer:

If the baby experiences this situation again, with a relatively good mental state and mild symptoms, probiotics or compound pancreatin powder can be taken orally. The use of anti-inflammatory drugs should be determined based on the test results. Pay attention to feeding, and the mom should avoid spicy and cold foods. For infants with a younger age, it is also necessary to consider their bowel movement and feeding methods to verify the possibility of lactose intolerance or allergies.
