Question
Why does a 5-year-old’s stool have mucus and blood strands?
Answer
Considering it could be caused by enteritis, it is suggested to have the baby undergo a routine stool test. Treatment can include administering oral rehydration salts to prevent dehydration, along with cefixime granules and ribavirin granules. Treatment with probiotics can also help regulate the intestines, leading to a quick improvement in symptoms. Additionally, applying heat to the abdomen may aid in the recovery of the condition.
