Question
What causes a baby to have foamy stool? Why does it look like laundry detergent foam? Have there been any treatments? What kind of help is needed?
Answer
Foamy stool in babies may be caused by factors such as external wind-cold and improper diet. For medication treatment, it is recommended to actively pursue anti-inflammatory therapy, which may include cephalosporin antibiotics, and fluid replacement therapy based on the extent of dehydration. At the same time, it is important to drink plenty of water, feed on time, adopt a small and frequent feeding method, and frequently massage the baby’s abdomen to promote digestion and absorption as well as stabilize gastrointestinal function. We hope the baby recovers soon.
