Pediatrician 's  Response
The recovery from viral infection is obvious by clinical history.The redness in the stool should be evaluated by examination of a fresh stool specimen by pathologist for evidence of red blood cells, pus cell,occult blood,bacteria,parasite in stool or there cysts.
The possibility of color of food has to be considered if there is no evidence of blood or infection in stool.
