Question

There is something in my baby’s stool that looks like worms, with a pointed end, about one centimeter long, but it doesn’t move. What could be the reason for this? My baby has always been healthy, what’s going on?

Answer

To be honest, without seeing it firsthand, it’s difficult to determine what the problem is. You mentioned that it doesn’t move, which might suggest that it’s not a living organism and could be undigested food material. If you’re worried it might be a parasite, it’s advisable to bring a sample of your baby’s stool to the hospital for examination to get a clear and definite answer. If you have any other questions, you can consult online on our website and have a face-to-face conversation with a doctor to better resolve your concerns. This is the answer to the question ‘What to do if baby’s stool contains something like worms?’ I hope this helps, and wish you and your baby good health!
