What exactly is the jelly-like substance that the baby has when they have diarrhea?

Patient's question:

The baby has recently had diarrhea, and the stool is jelly-like. It looks like jelly when it comes out. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of infant diarrhea are numerous. Babies may experience this situation, possibly because they have a cough and phlegm. When children are young, they may have coughing and convulsions. After a cold, if there is a lot of phlegm in the mouth, these mouthfuls may not be expelled and will be swallowed instead, then excreted through bowel movements. Therefore, the baby's stool may become frozen, which could be due to issues with your infant's digestive system.
