What is the reason for the presence of mucus-like strands resembling pus in the stool of a four-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, baby diarrhea is often caused by cold, breast milk diarrhea, viral infection, enteritis, or dysbiosis. It is important to pay attention to reasonable feeding, ensure the hygiene of the baby's milk, and avoid getting cold. Simethicone can be taken, and children's umbilical patch can be used for symptomatic treatment. If necessary, go to the hospital for a routine stool examination to confirm and treat the condition.
