Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of blood diarrhea which seems to be due to inflammation of gastrointestinal tract. Need not to worry. I would suggest you not to panic at all. You should start treatment with combination of fluroquinolones and ornidazole.You should give child rice with curd or buttermilk. You should get intravenous fluid administration as well. Avoid taking Domperidone. you should avoid taking dairy products in excess. Give child Walamycin syrup for controlling infection. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food. You can take banana on daily basis and light food. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment after prescription.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
