Patient's question:
The baby is two and a half months old and has been breastfed. Recently, his stool has always had foam, with 2 to 3 bowel movements a day, each with foam. What could be the reason? How should it be treated? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to pay attention to the observation of children's feces. If there is a small amount of foam in the stool, it is suggested that we should not be too concerned about most cases caused by transient digestive disorders. In most cases, we should not perform special treatment, allowing the body to return to normal after a period of time. If there is loose stool accompanied by foamy stool and a foul odor, it may indicate that the child's digestive disorder is caused by carbohydrate malabsorption. It is recommended to adjust the diet during this period, trying to give the child liquid or semi-liquid foods, and choosing light and easily digestible foods.
