My baby boy is 1 year and 2 months old. He is suffering from diarrhea since past 1 month. In this period we v visited doctor thrice. In our second last visit we were asked to have baby stool test done. In the test it was found that stool has 10-20 mew/f Pus. Occult blood - Present. Reaction - Acidic. We can see RBC in potty since past 7 days. It is basically in form of threads/raisins/drops. I don't know why lab was unable to detect RBC. It was a normal stool test and not Culture one. Doctor prescribed Zinc and enter plus. Also he said stop all dairy products. My child is active and playful with no fever. But lost around 700 grams in a month. On asked, when will the blood stop, doctor told us that it will take a week. My questions are: 1. Seeing blood coming out from babies potty is very heartening and we are tensed, can anyone please suggest what can we do to ensure blood in potty stops quickly. 2. How long will it take before his diarrhea stops. My child is suffering from 1 month. Please suggest what else we can do to stop his diarrhea quickly. I trust my doctor but want a second opinion. Please help. - Very concerned Mom and Dad.
