Question
How should one handle a child’s recurring diarrhea and hematochezia?
Answer
If a child experiences recurring diarrhea and hematochezia, it is generally necessary to promptly conduct routine stool tests. Considering such symptoms, the possibility of enteritis is relatively high. It is necessary to confirm the presence of bacterial inflammation through routine stool testing. If there is an infectious condition, a sensitive antibiotic should be prescribed, and oral montmorillonite powder should be administered. Prompt stool testing is essential to confirm the situation.
