Question
The child has been crying continuously recently and doesn’t eat much. What could be the reason for the baby’s dry stool with blood?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you described, it is mainly due to gastrointestinal heat, fluid depletion, and stagnation of waste products. Treatment should involve clearing heat, moistening the intestines, and promoting bowel movement. Consider using medications such as Linzi Ren Wan or Qingran Ruanjiao capsules. Pay attention to hygiene, eat more fruits and vegetables. Also, consider using probiotic supplements or mother’s love to regulate the baby’s condition. Use pediatric glycerin suppositories or soap bars to lubricate the baby’s anus, and ensure adequate hydration.
