Question
What should I do if my baby has been having bloody stool?
Answer
Hello, if your baby’s stool contains blood, it is indicative of intestinal inflammation. It is recommended to first take the baby to the hospital for a routine stool examination. If the inflammation is not severe and the baby is in good spirits, you can administer cefixime and ciprofloxacin granules for anti-inflammatory treatment. Additionally, you can use pancreatin powder to aid digestion. If the baby is in poor spirits, has purulent red blood cells in the stool, or shows signs of dehydration, intravenous treatment may be necessary to control the condition. Moreover, it is important to maintain good hygiene habits to reduce the risk of infection.
