Question
Hello, if a child is experiencing black stools along with nosebleeds, how should one effectively treat the condition? Can a doctor provide relevant advice?
Answer
Hello, an increased lymphocyte count often suggests the possibility of viral infection in routine blood tests. It is recommended to further check for stool routine and occult blood to determine the specific cause of the black stools. If the lymphocytes are only slightly elevated and other test results are normal, continued observation can be maintained. Procedures such as barium meal exams should be conducted to clearly identify the bleeding site and receive timely treatment. Meanwhile, attention should be paid to regular diet, avoiding the intake of irritating foods such as chili. It is suggested to visit a hospital for a detailed examination to ascertain the cause.
