Suggest treatment for the frequent stool discharge in a baby
Patient: I have a two year old son, usually he passes stool 2/3 times in a day. but from last one month suddenly the number is increased to 5/6 times, the stool amount is much and soft, recently from last 4/5 days there are white something is visible in the stool, can anyone advice me on this pls... Doctor: Hi...by what you quote I feel that this could be - 1. Irritable bowel syndrome2. Worm infestation.3. Persistent diarrheaUnless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
