Question

The two-month-old baby has had bloody stool in the last two bowel movements, with no other issues. The baby tends to choke while drinking milk. Please inquire about the possible causes and initial treatment methods.

Answer

Bloody stool may be caused by anal injury or improper feeding leading to diarrhea. According to the test results, the possibility of anal injury is higher. It is normal for the baby to be fed 110 milliliters of milk each time, and it is recommended to allow the baby to drink water appropriately during feeding. Consuming Sanqi powder may help accelerate recovery. It is suggested to further check the baby’s platelet count and coagulation time to confirm if there are any issues with the clotting system.
