What Causes Blood In Stool?
Question: my one year baby getting blood in moition
Brief Answer:
Could be dysentery. Needs to be treated with antibiotics.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. There are two broad factors to consider in case of blood with stool and that involves the consistency of stool. Bleeding could be associated with constipation or could be associated with loose stools. Please elaborate on your child's condition and mention about the consistency of his stool. In case of dysentery or bloody stool, treatment with antibiotics is likely to be needed. It is advisable to get his stool tested (routine microscopy). You can upload the reports thereafter. If there is constipation you would need to take plenty of fibers. I would await your response. Based on that I would guide you further.
Let me know if I could help further.

at the of four months baby face intussecpition problem we done the operation...now baby age is one year baby is suffering from blood motions we bother about baby is again facing intussecpition problem
Brief Answer:
Clinical evaluation needed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the update. Clinical examination is very important in this case. If the abdomen is soft and non-tender, it is unlikely to be due to intussusception. But if the abdomen is tender and rigid, you would need to see a doctor and get him evaluated further.
