Hi,
Noted the history about your 14 month old baby having red colored stool, being active, playing, and eating normally;
diarrhea as explained by you.
With all this history I can think about the possible causes as follows:
Intestinal infection.
red colored foods and fluids.
Some medications- rare in this age group.
Hence I would advise you teh following in such a situation:
Consult a Pediatrician at once.
Send the stool and blood samples for lab tests.
All this will help to know the exact cause.
If there is a bacterial infection then your baby will need a proper course of an antibiotic and probiotics.
Maintain a proper hydration.
Get the stool tested for a few more days to see the effects of the treatment.
Complete the couse.
Give boiled and cooled water.
Do not give anything outside foods and beverages.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant,
