It's important to address changes in a child's bowel movements, especially after an illness. Here's a simple, approachable response: Dark stool post-diarrhea could indicate healing, but blood traces need attention. It's reassuring he's active, but let's ensure he's on the right track: 1. Monitor for recurring blood in stool or changes in behavior. 2. Keep him hydrated; dehydration can follow diarrhea. 3. Offer a gentle diet; bananas and rice can solidify stools. 4. If blood reappears or he seems unwell, seek immediate medical care.
Health Tips
Consider a teleconsultation with me to discuss his symptoms and history for tailored advice.
