Question
What’s causing my baby to pass stools that look like curdled bean curd, in strings? My baby has been running a fever, coughing, and having phlegm for a few days. I gave him some ginger slices, garlic cloves, and brown sugar to make a drink, but a few hours later, his stools became abnormal. I’m in a hurry and need your help!
Answer
Based on the situation you described, the main consideration is indigestion. Guidance: For a baby like yours, this is mainly caused by improper diet. I suggest you give your baby lactase tablets, infant digestive powder, probiotics, and other medications. Pay attention to rest, give your baby plenty of warm water, carefully observe your baby’s condition in all aspects, and take precautions against catching a cold. Wishing your baby a quick recovery!
