Question
My child has been experiencing diarrhea recently, with mucus and a bit of blood in the stools. Is this normal?
Answer
Based on your description, your child’s diarrhea with mucus and blood could indicate lower digestive tract issues, including the possibility of enteritis. It is advised not to overuse antibiotics but to consult with a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Pay attention to dietary habits, avoid cold and stimulating foods, drink plenty of water, and consume easily digestible foods.
