Question
Why is there a bit of red in the baby’s stool? My baby is 29 days old today, and there’s a bit of red in the stool. The baby is eating well, and is active without crying or fussing.
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s stool with red may be due to enteritis. It is recommended that you take the baby for a regular stool examination to determine the cause. For treatment, you can give the baby oral cefixime dry suspension and Simethicone, and encourage plenty of water intake to help the baby recover gradually. Additionally, maintain good hygiene in the anal area to prevent the occurrence of eczema. If you are concerned about the baby’s health, it is advisable to take the baby to see a doctor promptly for professional medical advice and treatment.
