Question
What’s the situation when a child’s stool is sticky?
Answer
Sticky stool in children could be due to indigestion or enteritis. First, it is recommended to undergo a stool test to clearly diagnose whether it is due to indigestion, enteritis, or intestinal dysfunction caused by fever. If it is due to indigestion, oral medications such as Simethicone and Mommy Love can be taken, along with the application of Dinggui Er navel sticker on the navel for treatment. If it is caused by enteritis, it is advisable to use ampicillin infusion for anti-inflammatory treatment. If the child has a high fever, oral ibuprofen suspension can be used for fever reduction. It is recommended to shorten the interval between changing diapers and to provide more water. It is hoped that these suggestions can help your child recover soon.
