Question
My nephew is one and a half years old, and last night he had bloody stools with blood strands. How should I handle this?
Answer
It is recommended to first have a regular stool test at the hospital to confirm the cause of the diarrhea. Note that some diarrhea is not caused by infection, but may be due to improper feeding or weather changes. Do not use medication blindly. If the baby shows signs of depression and reduced urine output, there may be dehydration, and it is important to drink more water to avoid dehydration. If the baby is diagnosed with dysentery, it is suggested to use antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor and observe for several days. At the same time, pay attention to personal hygiene and dietary arrangements.
