How to identify bacterial dysentery in babies

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. How can I identify bacterial dysentery in babies?

Doctor's answer:

If children experience bacterial dysentery again, it can lead to fever and persistent decline in body temperature, accompanied by recurrent abdominal pain, increased bowel movements, nausea, and vomiting. During the defecation process, the stool may contain mucus. A thorough examination of the stool is necessary to confirm the underlying cause. If bacterial dysentery is confirmed, prompt treatment is essential, as it is a contagious disease.
