Patient's question:
My child has had frequent bowel movements since birth until now, and even when passing gas, there's a bit of stool. The little buttocks are always red, and sometimes they even peel. The child is otherwise doing well. I don't know why the bowel movements are so frequent. How should I handle the red buttocks? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
How many days has this child been born? Generally, it is normal for bowel movements to increase again within 2 weeks, which is a physiological diarrhea. It usually gradually improves after 2 weeks. If your child hasn't improved after less than 2 weeks, you can take appropriate amounts of probiotics and smectite to regulate the stomach and intestines. The red buttocks are mainly caused by moisture. You can gently clean it with clean water and keep the buttocks dry. This is the advice for the question "What causes frequent bowel movements?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
