The baby’s stool test results show lecithin bodies (+). What does this mean? What kind of treatment is needed? Next week, the baby will receive vaccinations and take sugar pills. Will this cause any interference?
Answer
The baby has been passing green stools for over a week, without any vomiting, and their diet and sleep are normal. This indicates that the baby’s intestinal movement is faster, and the substances in the stool are not fully chemically changed before being excreted, resulting in green stool instead of yellow. This situation is quite common as the baby’s intestinal movement is not as regular as adults and is easily influenced by external factors. As for the lecithin bodies (+) found in the stool test, this usually refers to some normal cells observed under a microscope. They are beneficial components in the intestines but may be misinterpreted as abnormal during the test. Usually, no special treatment is needed. Regarding vaccinations and taking sugar pills, this usually does not interfere with the baby’s health. However, for safety reasons, it is recommended to consult with a doctor before receiving vaccinations. The baby currently appears to be in good condition and there is no need to worry excessively. What is the meaning of baby stool containing lecithin bodies (+) and what are the treatment recommendations? Next week, we will be giving vaccinations and taking sugar pills. Will this cause any interference?
