Blood and mucus in stool
Hello
I have seen fresh blood and mucus in my 3 months old stool.
His stool frequency is 8-9 times per day since birth.
He is exclusively breastfeeding.
Since 1 week he was having mucus and now today he got blood in stool everytime he is passing stool.
I went to the dr. and he asked me to wait, as of now he has given me econorm and ZnD 0.5 ml once a day for 4 days and asked me to stop having cow's milk myself as I breastfeed.
Bot somehow I am not satisfied. Is it really fine to wait for 4 days seeing blood everytime.plz plz suggest me wat to do.
