Question
My child is 6 months old and has been experiencing daily white foamy stools without abdominal pain. They had a fever recently and blood tests were normal, with a negative rotavirus test. They have been taking probiotics but there has been no improvement. They only eat congee and noodle soup. Why is the stool still in clumps of white foam?
Answer
Based on the above situation, the child’s main symptom is white foamy stools. This could be due to swallowing too much air, but to rule out enteritis, it is recommended to further examine the stool regularly. Currently, it is suggested to expel air during breastfeeding and to give the child probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora. These are the recommendations for this issue, hoping it will be helpful to you, and wish you a speedy recovery!
