As bloody stools lasting 8 days place him at high risk for severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).Potential causes for these symptoms include Shigella infection, Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), or Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC).Primary management strategies require targeted antibiotic therapy based on local susceptibility, continuous oral rehydration solutions (ORS) to prevent fluid loss, and zinc supplementation.Please stop administering Dios DS or any other antimotility medications right away, as stopping bowel movements can dangerously trap bacterial toxins inside his digestive tract.If you notice extreme lethargy, persistent vomiting, or a sudden decrease in urination, please take him to the nearest pediatric emergency room immediately.
