Question
My baby is just one month old, and has been having diarrhea recently, with a slight fever. The doctor says it’s enteritis. How should I treat my baby’s diarrhea with blood and fever?
Answer
In addition to blood in the stool, there may also be the presence of white blood cells. If there are white blood cells, do not blindly use anti-diarrheal medication, as this may worsen the condition. It is recommended to check the stool again to confirm the presence of white blood cells. Patients should develop regular lifestyle habits, persist with treatment, eat a light diet, engage in more aerobic exercises, and this will help improve immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
