In fact, there may be many reasons for the baby's bloody stool, and different subtle symptoms. Parents can sit in the right position according to specific symptoms and take corresponding measures to improve.
Symptom 1: There is bloodshot on the surface of stool, and there is bloodshot on the toilet paper that wipes the bottom.
Possible cause: This condition may be caused by constipation and anal fissure. The baby's stool is dry and hard. Pulling the stool too hard may scratch the intestine and perianal area, causing anal fissure bleeding.
Countermeasures: Apply erythromycin ointment or vaseline to anal fissure to effectively diminish inflammation, lubricate perianal skin and promote defecation; Focusing on solving constipation, we can start with adjusting diet and using kaisai dew and lactulose under the guidance of doctors.
Symptom 2: There is bloodshot blood in the stool, and the baby also has adverse reactions such as rash, swelling of mouth and eyes, wheezing, vomiting and diarrhea.
Possible cause: This condition may be food allergy. If the baby is breast-fed, it may be that the mother ate food that can cause the baby to be allergic and passed it on to the baby through the milk; If you are feeding your baby formula, you should consider whether the milk protein is allergic; If complementary food has been added, it may be allergic to a certain food.
Countermeasure: If breastfeeding, there is no need to stop breastfeeding. Mom can try to change the diet and not eat suspicious food for 2~3 weeks. If you stop eating and your condition improves, you can eat a small amount of suspicious food and confirm which food your baby is allergic to by one-by-one exclusion method. The same is true for babies who have added complementary food. If formula feeding is confirmed to be allergic to milk protein, you can change to deep hydrolysis formula or amino acid formula to avoid eating goat milk powder and lactose-free formula.
Symptom 3: The sparse water sample is mixed with bloodshot, or the foul purulent stool is accompanied by fever.
Possible cause: infectious diarrhea may cause bloody stool. If the water is thin, consider whether it is infected by virus, and if it is suppurated, consider whether it is infected by bacteria.
Countermeasures: Take stool samples to the hospital for examination, use drugs under the guidance of doctors (antibiotics are only effective for bacterial infections), and replenish water appropriately to prevent dehydration.
Symptom 4: the stool is jam-like, bloody in the stool, and the baby repeatedly cries and vomits violently for no reason.
Possible causes: Intussusception should be considered, which may cause intestinal necrosis and shock, which is more dangerous.
Countermeasures: If it is intussusception, the baby should be sent to the emergency department immediately, and it can be cured by enema after being diagnosed by B-ultrasound. If you suspect other intestinal diseases, you should take your baby to see a doctor immediately.
In short, the most important thing for parents is to stay calm, carefully identify the baby with bloody stool, and seek the help of a doctor if it is impossible to judge.
