Doctor's answer:

Hello! According to routine laboratory tests, effective antibiotics should be used, and medication enemas are also required. Intestinal infection, especially bacterial infection, cannot be ruled out. In this case, it is necessary to conduct a clear analysis of the baby's stool. If bacterial infection is detected, additional antibiotic treatment is needed.
Attention should be paid to whether the baby has indigestion. When the baby's stool contains not only mucus but also more curd-like substances, oral probiotics can help regulate the intestinal microecological environment, promote digestion, and improve stool characteristics.
At the same time, the baby's diet also needs attention. If breastfeeding, the mother should try to eat light and easily digestible foods, avoiding overly greasy diets.
