Question
A parent inquired about their 3-month-old baby’s stool, which has been showing blood. Initially, the blood appeared occasionally, but recently, it is present with every bowel movement. The stool is also water-like, green, and frothy. The parent mentioned that they have purchased amino acid nutritional powder and have given the baby Lactobacillus casei, a stomach and spleen-nourishing traditional Chinese medicine powder, as well as Cefoperazone antibiotic treatment.
Answer
Based on the parent’s description of the condition and the baby’s stool photo and test results, the routine stool examination showed normal results. However, if the child continues to exhibit bloody stool symptoms, it is recommended that the parent take the child to a large hospital’s anorectal department for further examination to rule out conditions such as anal fissures. The doctor’s examination may include checking for any abnormalities in the baby’s anus.
