Question
A 10-month-old baby has blood droplets in their stool after defecation. I am worried whether it is due to gastroenteritis, and the baby has not yet grown any teeth, causing anxiety.
Answer
According to the description, the baby may have blood droplets after defecation due to dry stools. Typically, babies start teething between 4 to 10 months old. If they have not grown any teeth by 12 months, it is considered delayed teething. It is recommended to let the baby drink more water, eat more vegetables, and perform abdominal massage in a clockwise direction. For the case of delayed teething, consider appropriately supplementing calcium and Vitamin AD, such as Icoshin and Calcium Gluconate Oral Solution.
