How To Treat Microscopic Spot Of Blood In Stool In Infants Which Leads To Lot Of Crying?
My granddaughter is 3 weeks old and has cried excessively at random intervals that last anywhere from 2 to 8 hour periods. Her mother is nursing her but was told to stay off dairy. The infant was taken to the pediatrician 2 weeks ago and was told there was a microscopic spot of blood in her stool. The baby has very occasional times where she looks peacefully about and seems pleasant and will suddenly scream in agony; dreadfully, the crying process begins. She has been given gripe water, milocon. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
