Patient's question:
Newborn baby, 50 days old, has been vomiting after drinking milk for the past three days. He has had three bowel movements, all yellow and smelly with an acidic and strange odor. The stool contains translucent and mucus-like sticky substances. Sometimes, if he drinks milk frequently, he will immediately urinate or have a bowel movement.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there is mucus in the baby's stool and it has a sour odor, which suggests indigestion without ruling out bacterial infection. We recommend that you don't worry too much and have the baby's stool tested to confirm the diagnosis. If there is an infection, additional anti-infection treatment should be provided. If it is just indigestion, probiotics can be taken to help regulate the intestinal flora and aid digestion. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
