How to handle foul-smelling infant bowel movements

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and recently I've been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took isn't very effective. How should I handle the foul-smelling stool of an infant?

Doctor's answer:

The baby's stool smells bad, which may be due to indigestion. Undigested and unabsorbed proteins enter the intestines and are broken down by gut bacteria. Pay attention to adding complementary foods. A 6-month-old baby can be given appropriate amounts of mashed foods such as rice porridge, vegetable puree, and egg puree. Additionally, oral medication to regulate the intestines can be taken. Examples include "oral Bifidobacterium pseudolongum" or "Jin Shuang Qi" to regulate the gut microbiota.
