Patient's question:
The problem of mucus in your baby's stool is really annoying. My baby is 70 days old. He has a bowel movement once a day. But starting a few days ago, the frequency of bowel movements has increased. It's now 7-8 times a day, green and watery with mucus. My child has had diarrhea for two days, with ten bowel movements each day, green and sticky. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello. A 7-month-old baby has diarrhea. The frequency of bowel movements is relatively high, and there is also mucous-like stool. It is necessary to perform a routine stool examination to rule out the possibility of enteritis. If the stool examination shows white blood cells or pus cells, antibiotics should be given to control the infection while also taking digestive aid medication. If the examination results are normal, antibiotics are not needed. Simple probiotics or digestive aid medication can be taken to regulate the condition.
