Blood in stool
My now 16m old baby previously had mild lactose intolerance (Reducing substance +).
However, at 8m age, stool test showed no Reducing Substance, so we could get on with normal diet.
Today she again had bloody stools (it seems). She has been suffering from cough and cold since last week and is currently having Mucolite drops 3 times daily for that.
What could be the reason for this type of stool? Attaching picture. Please help.
