Question
My child is 50 days old and is on mixed feeding. Today, their stool looks like mucus with a bit of blood. What could be the cause? Have there been any treatments, and what kind of assistance is needed?
Answer
Diarrhea in a baby of this age could be caused by indigestion. You can try using Simo Decoction Oral Liquid to regulate intestinal function. Additionally, you can use Multienzyme Tablets, Lactobacillus Tablets, and Cross-linked VB to help improve intestinal function. If the condition does not improve, it is recommended to undergo routine blood and stool tests to determine the cause and decide whether symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication is needed. At the same time, be sure to maintain hydration by giving the child rice porridge, switching to formula milk, and using oral rehydration salts to prevent dehydration. Generally, there should be an improvement within a week.
