Care about every detail of your child

When we become parents, we will be very concerned about our children. As long as there is a little problem with them, we will be very nervous. For example, when we encounter blood in our children's stools, will we be very worried? Since we don't know much about the relevant knowledge, we want to know what causes it.

We often find that children, especially those with mild diarrhea, often have bloody stools. In fact, this is caused by pigments in food or medicine. Whenever there is doubt, the stool can be tested to eliminate parents' doubts.

If the red material in the stool is actually blood and appears in streaks, the stool is very hard, or the child has pain during bowel movements, then it may be bleeding from an anal fissure, which is the cause of most cases of blood in the stool. Taking a hot bath, adjusting the amount of food you eat, and taking medication can have good results.

A third reason for finding blood in your child's stool is diarrhea, which can be caused by a number of different infections. This type of diarrhea, caused by a virus or bacteria, sometimes presents with a brief but noticeable bloody stool. Your child may have a high fever and his stools may contain blood and occasionally pus, mucus, and undigested food. When a pediatrician sees this condition, he or she will first carefully observe whether there are signs of dehydration, and then do tests to determine not only the cause of the diarrhea and bleeding and measure the blood cell count, but also do cultures and smears of the stool to look for evidence of specific infections. Some forms of diarrhea can be treated with antibiotics, so all patients with this illness should be diagnosed and treated by a doctor, especially with regard to acute dysentery.

Therefore, when you find that your child has blood in his stool, your first reaction is not to panic. You should immediately send your child to the hospital for examination and treatment. The doctor will give the most accurate answer. In addition, you can also learn about relevant knowledge in your daily life so that you can have better control when such a situation occurs in the future.
