Question
An eight-year-old son had two episodes of bloody stool one week ago, which subsided after drinking red sugar water. This morning, he had bloody stool again. What was the previous treatment and its effectiveness? I want to know the cause and seek assistance.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have a gastrointestinal ulcer or hemorrhoids. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible. Pay attention to dietary regularity, eat less spicy and salty food, consume more fruits and vegetables, and increase nutrition. Avoid drinking strong tea and coffee, and you can purchase medications to protect the gastric mucosa from a regular hospital, such as omeprazole, misoprostol, etc. I hope he can recover as soon as possible.
