Doctor: hi, blood colour stools in a child occurs due to acute gastroenteritis due to stomach infection, worm infestation. At this age, child usually puts everything in mouth and as a result, it results in infection in intestine and stomach. prebiotic like enterogermina ampule should be given once a day for 3 days to increase intestine eliminator. If bloody stools persist then antibiotic needs to be started. Kindly do stool for routine microscopic test and stool for occult blood test. This will help us in confirming the diagnosis. An examination by doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding. Review with reports. Take care.
