How to handle foul-smelling infant bowel movements

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day I feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. 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 absorbed proteins enter the intestine and are decomposed by intestinal 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 administration of some drugs that regulate the intestine can be considered. Examples include "oral Bifidobacterium cereus" or "Jin Shuang Qi" to regulate the intestinal flora.
