Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My child doesn't know why he has a bowel movement every time we change his diaper, while other children don't have such frequent bowel movements like him. Is it because I myself don't get enough nutrition?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that the stool of young children often contains foam, which usually indicates digestive issues in the child. Only when the child's digestion is poor and there is an excess of food residue, fermented by bacteria in the intestines, can the stool become foamy. Additionally, foamy stool may also be related to the child crying for extended periods and swallowing excessive air. Digestive water can be given to help, or products like Mamei (a probiotic) can be used to regulate intestinal flora, and Simethicone can be given to stop diarrhea.
