How to Test Baby's Stool

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. By the way, how can I test the baby's stool?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the symptoms you mentioned, it's not yet clear if it's gastroenteritis. Laboratory tests and related examinations are necessary to determine this. However, prolonged diarrhea can indeed lead to gastroenteritis. You can collect the water-like stool in a small bottle and take it to the hospital. Only a small amount is needed. The collected stool should be sent for testing within one hour.
