Question
What should I do if my baby’s stool turns white?
Answer
White stool in infants may be related to dyspepsia or biliary tract obstruction of the liver and gallbladder system. If there is mucus and intestinal inflammation in the stool, consider using digestive aids; if there is mucus and purulent stool, antibiotics may be necessary. Furthermore, encourage the baby to drink more water, avoid cold, spicy, food, and provide nutritious and easily digestible food. If the baby simultaneously exhibits white stool and jaundice, it is advisable to bring the child to the pediatric clinic for relevant examinations and treatment.
