Patient's question:
2-month-old baby, the initial bowel movements were green with yellow, then yellow, and finally a small amount of mucus-like discharge. I am formula-feeding. What is this? What is the reason for the final mucus?Doctor's answer:
Consider the possibility of your child having gastroenteritis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine stool test to confirm the diagnosis. Pay attention to drinking more warm water, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, and maintaining a light and easily digestible diet. Avoid extremely cold and spicy foods. Be mindful of abdominal warmth and prevent catching a cold. It is also possible to consider indigestion. It is suggested to first have a hospital perform a routine stool test with a occult blood test for a thorough examination. In terms of treatment, you can start by taking relevant oral medications.
