Question
My baby has frequent loose stools with an odor of rotten eggs. Is it normal for them to have this frequency, several times a day?
Answer
Having frequent loose stools with an odor of rotten eggs in a baby suggests poor protein digestion. Based on the described symptoms, this is a case of malabsorption due to poor gastrointestinal function and imbalanced intestinal flora, related to the baby’s constitution and gastrointestinal condition. It is recommended to seek early medication treatment, to strengthen the spleen and stomach, and to adjust the balance of intestinal flora. Additionally, it’s advised to avoid greasy foods, engage in more physical activity, and perform abdominal massage to promote gastrointestinal motility and improve the condition.
