Question

Why is my baby’s stool abnormal lately, always passing frothy stools?

Answer

Your baby’s frothy stools could be due to a cold or improper diet, or it might be caused by bacterial enteritis, indigestion, and other gastrointestinal disorders. You can give some probiotics, golden bifidus, and spleen-strengthening san (a traditional Chinese medicine) to help regulate the condition. Adding solid foods appropriately can also help ease the symptoms. It is advisable to consult a pediatrician and undergo examination and treatment.
