Question
My child had a stomachache last night and was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. Today, I found blood in his stool. I want to know how to handle a child’s diarrhea with blood?
Answer
Acute gastroenteritis is one of the common diseases in children, usually caused by improper diet or intestinal infection. If blood in the stool is present, it indicates that the condition has become more severe. It is advisable for parents to take their child to a regular hospital for immediate medical consultation, allowing the doctor to conduct a detailed examination, determine the cause, and provide appropriate treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
