Question
The baby was born 27 days ago, and two days ago, a stool test showed lactose intolerance and 2-4 white blood cells. For the past two days, I have been giving him lactose-free formula, but the stool is still green and contains pieces of black, sticky material.
Answer
Lactose intolerance is a non-infectious diarrhea caused by insufficient lactase production, which cannot fully digest lactose in breast milk or formula. The presence of 2-4 white blood cells may be due to enteritis. It is recommended to consult a pediatrician at a local hospital or adopt a feeding method of small, frequent meals and observe for a few days before making a decision.
