Patient's question:
My child has been alive for a month since birth. They have had multiple bowel movements every day, and the stool is thick and yellow with particles. Their buttocks are also red, and sometimes their farts come with yellow liquid. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is normal for a newborn to have loose stools, but if the stools contain particles, the buttocks are red, and yellow fluid is exuding, this is abnormal. It indicates that the child may have poor digestion, which could be caused by catching a cold or a possible intolerance to breast milk. There are many possible reasons, so it is recommended not to let the child catch a cold. Oral medication for treating poor digestion can be taken, but if the condition does not improve, it is advisable to go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Tests such as a routine stool examination can be conducted to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.
