My 5 month old baby was loose stools from two days (3-4 times a day) . However only today in his poop, there were red residue (picture attached).
Is it a cause of concern?
Thanks in advance!

Mostly this will be dysentry. Bacterial infections of the intestine and stomach. Is your child is exclusively breastfed or on formula feeds also? This child requires urgent pediatric consultation. Mostly will require antibiotic, apart from ORS solution and Zinc.
