Patient's question:
My baby has been having a lot of foamy stools recently, and his health condition hasn't been good either. What could be going on?Doctor's answer:
When the baby has a bowel movement, there are some foamy substances. This symptom could be due to the baby having a heat-related issue, or it might be caused by the baby being overheated. For example, when the baby sleeps at night, the blanket might be too thick, or the room's air quality might not be good. These factors can all affect the baby's stool. It could also be because the baby consumed formula milk, which led to a heat-related issue. In that case, it's recommended to give the baby some honeysuckle tea.
