Question
My newborn is 40 days old and I found blood clots in their stool. The baby is in good spirits and has not had a fever. What could be the cause of this, and is it serious?
Answer
It is recommended that parents take the baby to the hospital for relevant examinations to rule out infections and determine if there are any congenital gastrointestinal malformations or other congenital diseases. Possible causes include diverticula, malrotation of the intestines, intestinal duplication anomaly, esophageal hiatus hernia, and others. For the baby’s health, please arrange for medical attention as soon as possible.
