Patient's question:
A newborn baby who is five days old has white mucus-like substances and blood in their stool. What should be done if the child has white discharge after defecation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, how is the child's condition? We can take a urine sample for a microscopic examination. Okay, the child has been urinating for five days, and the urine looks like white discharge. I think it might be related to drinking less water. You can encourage the child to drink more water, which might improve it. If it doesn't work, you should take the child to the hospital for a check-up. On the fourth day, why was the face a bit yellow? The doctor used an instrument to measure 13.7, which is normal. It's physiological jaundice. I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
