Question
Patient Age: How to deal with a baby’s bloody stool?
Answer
The diagnosis is bacterial dysentery, which requires isolation treatment. Utensils and toys can be disinfected with boiling water. When handling feces, you can mix bleach powder with water, pour it out, and then discard it. Bedding can be exposed to sunlight. The child should rest in bed, and a hot water bottle can be used for abdominal pain. Closely monitor the child’s condition, and seek medical attention promptly if symptoms such as high fever or pale complexion occur.
