Question
An 8-month-old baby has blood threads in their stool. Although the baby has taken medication and returned to normal, they often cry and demand breast milk at night, causing concern whether it’s due to abdominal pain or hunger. What could be the reasons for the baby’s stool to contain blood threads?
Answer
Blood threads in a child’s stool are usually due to constipation, which makes the stool too hard and may cause irritation to the rectal mucosa. To maintain smooth bowel movements, it is recommended to increase dietary fiber intake and promote gastrointestinal motility to prevent constipation. If the blood threads in the stool are caused by vomiting, it may be necessary to rule out intestinal infection, and probiotics such as Similac or Ganbaixi may be suggested.
