Question
Hello, there’s blood in my stool. Do you think this is related to the enema?
Answer
An enema is just one method of medication, primarily by absorbing the medication through the rectal mucosa to achieve a fever-reducing effect. It is used when children are unwilling to take oral medication, and it works similarly to oral medications, intravenous injections, or intramuscular injections. The effect usually takes about half an hour, and it’s also important to make sure the child drinks plenty of water. The key is to understand that fever is caused by inflammation, and once the inflammation subsides, the body temperature naturally decreases.
