What Causes Blood In The Stool?
my 16 and half months old baby boy passes bit of blood in stool every 4 or 5 days. last routine stool test shows occult blood. Dr. prescribed syrup Flagyl - 7 days, Zinconic syrup -10 days and Nutrolin-B -5 days. today after 5 days I again isee bllod in his stool. Now Dr. says to go for Stool culture test and Sonography. i wanted to know what can be the reason. Since birth, baby had severe colic problem and stil on/off we use colicaid drops.

Hi.... by what you say I feel that it could be a acute bacillary dysentery or the other possibility is a intussusception. But I feel that acute bacillary dysentery is more probable as the child is not having any severe pain in the abdomen or green and bilious vomiting.
