Patient's question:
Please ask if the baby's bowel movement two days ago was like egg curd, whether they were breastfeeding or had a fever of 37.4°C, and if it was indigestion. Now it has improved.Treatment history and effectiveness: No hospital visit, self-recovered.
Desired help: Should a stool test be used?
Doctor's answer:
Through your description, the baby is indeed not very big. It's normal for breastfed babies to have loose stools, often with curds or other particles. Small babies usually have a higher body temperature, which is why the elderly often say it's better to be slightly cool than to be too hot. There's no need to test the stool; it's a normal phenomenon. The baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed, so it's common to have loose stools due to indigestion. It's recommended to carefully observe the color—golden yellow is normal. If you're concerned, you can give probiotics.
