Question
Is it normal for a child to have seven bowel movements a day?
What has been the past treatment and its effectiveness?
What kind of help is needed?
Does the child have diarrhea?
Answer
Having seven bowel movements a day for a child might be slightly unusual; please observe the color and consistency of the stool.
If there are any medications, you can try switching or stopping them.
If there are no medications, the child should be fed easily digestible foods such as porridge or eggs.
Doctor’s Inquiry: Is the child’s stool loose and light in color? Does the child have jaundice? Or are there other symptoms?
