Question
The baby has been having diarrhea for the past few days. On the first day, there were three bowel movements, and on the third day, two. In the middle of the night, there was a bowel movement with blood threads. The baby has been taking Montmorillonite powder and gastrointestinal tonics for these two days, and this is the stool this morning.
Answer
Based on your description, there are many possible causes for the presence of blood threads in the stool, such as enteritis, milk protein allergy, or anal fissure. It is best to conduct a detailed stool test to understand the cause and decide on appropriate medication treatment under a doctor’s guidance. If all test results are normal, it is likely that milk protein allergy is the cause, and it may be necessary to switch to a new formula, such as hypoallergenic or hydrolyzed protein formula. In addition, you can take some intestinal probiotics like probiotics regularly.
