What causes painful bloody stools in babies?

Many young mothers don’t know how to take good care of their children after giving birth. The children developed some diseases, which manifested themselves through their bodies, but their mothers were unable to detect and resolve the diseases in time. For example, many babies sometimes bleed and feel pain, but mothers think it is normal and do not pay attention to it. As a result, the children become more and more seriously ill. So, what causes children to have bloody and painful stools? How to treat it?

Generally, children's stools are mixed with foam, which often indicates that the child has indigestion. Only when the child's digestion is poor and there are too many food residues, which are fermented and gasified by bacteria in the intestines, will the stools be mixed with foam. In addition, the presence of foam in the stool may be related to the child crying for too long and swallowing a lot of air.

If the child also vomits up milk, the vomited milk has a sour smell, or is accompanied by undigested milk lumps, or has abdominal distension (the child lies flat on the bed with the abdomen higher than the chest), the stool is foamy and has no mucus or pus or blood, the frequency of bowel movements is just increased, and the stool is still yellow or a little light green and paste-like, or loose and rotten, then it is indigestion. You can feed some digestive water to help, or you can feed some Mommy Love to adjust the intestinal flora, and Smecta to stop diarrhea, etc.

If the child also has severe vomiting, or even vomits after eating, or has paroxysmal crying that can be relieved on its own, and the nature of the stool has changed significantly, becoming egg drop soup-like or watery, or accompanied by mucus, etc., then there is a high possibility of enteritis. This requires timely medical treatment, and a routine stool test can assist in the diagnosis.

If a child has diarrhea and cries continuously, is in poor spirits, and his stool is tomato-like, then you should be alert to intussusception. If the stool also has a very fishy odor, then you should be alert to necrotizing enterocolitis.

Some children may also suffer from diarrhea due to drinking herbal tea. If the child has indeed drunk herbal tea before developing diarrhea, then the possibility is higher. It is recommended not to feed the child too much herbal tea in the future.

In addition, improper addition of complementary foods can also cause diarrhea in children, such as adding too quickly, too much, too early, etc. The child may have enteritis due to improper feeding. Observe your child closely and see a doctor if he or she feels unwell. Remember to eat light food. The temperature should be appropriate. For breastfeeding mothers, their children should eat small meals frequently and be fed some boiled water between meals. Rub your abdomen clockwise before going to bed, which will help you have better bowel movements.

If you encounter a similar situation again, mothers must not think it is normal and ignore it. This is a matter related to the physical health of their children. Although children cannot speak yet, they will use their bodies to tell you: "Mom, I'm sick." I hope mothers will pay close attention to the signals sent by their children's bodies and not let their children feel too uncomfortable.
