Question
Is my child’s stool normal? My child is three months old and initially only had a bowel movement once every few days, with the stool being sticky. For the past two weeks, they have been having one to two bowel movements a day, with the stool being looser. Is this normal? Previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment received. Desired assistance: I hope the doctor can assess whether it is normal and if it is diarrhea.
Answer
This situation may be related to digestive disorders. It is recommended to try Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and Huoxiang Decoction or Sìwèi Pányī Pǐlìn. Shorten the interval between feedings or adjust the proportion of formula milk to give the gastrointestinal tract a rest. Increase complementary foods. When the condition improves, gradually resume the original feeding method. Especially avoid eating difficult-to-digest foods. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to seek further examination at a hospital.
