Question

A 32-day-old baby has bloody stool, with each occurrence becoming more severe. By the 33rd day, the baby had purulent stool. There were no symptoms of vomiting or fever, and the baby’s spirits were normal. What could be the cause?

Answer

If the blood in the stool is bright red, it may be related to improper procedures causing bleeding; if it is occult blood, it may be related to bleeding from gastrointestinal bleeding. It is recommended to check and confirm the diagnosis promptly and receive treatment. In addition, cooperate with the doctor for gastrointestinal decompression and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a reasonable diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
