Question
A five-month-old baby has been experiencing intermittent diarrhea for a month, with frequent occult blood in the stool (OB weakly positive). Please inquire about the causes and treatment methods.
Answer
Long-term chronic hematochezia may affect a child’s development and intelligence, so it should be discovered and treated early. Hematochezia is not uncommon in infancy and can occur with or without other symptoms, so it deserves the attention of parents.
