Blood in Baby's Poop
Hello beautiful Mumz...
I'm writing this out of big concern about my DD.. The 5 month old 's been very fussy since the last 5 days, rejecting feeds sometimes and arching her body while crying, esp at night. We doubted an ear infection, or may be teething? Her feeding habit also turned upside down, she doesnt eat well during the day and groans in her night's sleep, eats well when I offer feed and she repeats this many times till morning.
Last afternoon I noticed some blood in her poop which had turned out bit mucosy these days, it was bit stinky too. I took the sample and rushed her to her GP, who said there are 2 possibilities, i.e., an infection- bacterial or vice versa if it doesnt appear significant, and a surgical condition if the blood appears like gel.
I've given the sample for tests- Stool Routine & Stool Occult Blood, and still waiting for the results. Friends, have anyone of you gone thru/ heard of such situation? Doc has prescribed colic drops for her, and the arching and cries have become less.
Also I noticed a small wound mark (red in color, almost looks like a fresh wound) on the tip of her tongue at bedtime, which she doesnt allow me to check properly; I could see the same red mark today morning too, but it doesnt seem to affect feedings- she ate pretty well in the night and this morning too. May this be the cause of blood in the stool?
*Doc checked and told me that there's no ear infection.
And she seems to have lost weight too :( when checked last month during vaccination visit her weight was 3.4 kg, and yesterday her weight shown as 3.3 kg. She's been gaining weight properly till last month, I really dont understand what happend now.
