Hello,
The possibilities here are -
1. Acute bacillary dysentery or bacterial dysentery or colitis.
2. Cow's milk protein intolerance.
I suggest you discuss these possibilities with your kid's pediatrician and get him appropriately evaluated and treated, please.
Your baby requires medical attention.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
