Question
The child has diarrhea with blood but doesn’t know the cause. The child has also been irritable and crying frequently recently, and a hospital check-up hasn’t yielded any results.
Answer
It is recommended to check the stool sample to determine whether the diarrhea is caused by dyspepsia or enteritis. If diagnosed with dyspepsia, consider taking infant diarrhea granules to improve the symptoms. Meanwhile, hiccups are a common phenomenon in infants, usually caused by diaphragmatic spasm, which may be due to inhaling cool air or eating too fast. The movement of the diaphragm is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, and this control may not be fully developed in the first few months after birth, leading to hiccups.
