Is A Child With Mucus And Foamy Stool Dangerous?

My child is over 5 months old, he has loose stools, mucus like nose, has bubbly, sour smell. The doctor asked if my child has diarrhea or lack of calcium? (Ms. Nguyen Minh Hue)

Please answer your question as follows: Diarrhea including acute and persistent diarrhea is generally defined as follows: Is passing loose or watery stools more than 3 times a day. Acute diarrhea usually lasts no more than 7 days, prolonged diarrhea is actually an acute diarrhea, but lasts more than 14 days.
In the early months of life, many children experience loose, bubbling stools
Normally, children under 1 year on average go out 2-3 times a day, stool properties change in breastfed or formula fed babies because of intestinal bacterial system

. The stool of a breastfed infant is usually yellow, gelatinous, with a sour smell, slightly acidic reaction. Artificial feces are usually yellowish-brown or green in color, rotten in smell, neutral, more solid than in breastfed babies, and sometimes molded.
Your question does not specify how many times your child has gone out during the day, how long has it been? Recently, have you started feeding your baby, does his / her weight develop normally?… In my opinion, if the number of times your child goes out less than 3 times a day and his / her weight still grows If the baby develops normally, it is generally not possible to tell whether the child has diarrhea The stool is looser, bubbling, and has mucus that may be because your child's intestinal tract is irritated by not having digested the glucose in food or milk.




To overcome this situation, you should first give your child a little more neopeptine (a digestive enzyme that contains alpha enzyme - Amylase helps digest sugar better) but remember to use only for a short time and read Sign user manual. If you start to introduce solid foods at this stage, you may have been feeding your child a little too starchy foods, so be aware that in the diet with children 5 months should only eat one more liquid meal / day with just 2 teaspoons of flour in 200ml of water. Children should cook more thoroughly for children to avoid starch status is not completely hydrolyzed will affect the digestion of children.
The first 6 months of life should be fully breastfed, helping to strengthen the immune system in babies
The manifestations of calcium deficiency anemia depend on the degree of possible signs such as: sleep or startle, and each time there are screams, body spasms, red and purple face, prolonged crying. and maybe hours or all night. The more you comfort, the more lulls, the more you nurse, the more you can stop breathing. Children with calcium deficiency or laryngospasm can cause difficulty breathing, hiccups, and vomiting of milk .



.
In severe cases of calcium deficiency, there may be apnea and tachypnea, episodes of increased heart rate and possible heart failure. If the cause of hypocalcemia is not well resolved, apart from the above complications, it will affect the bones in the long term and cause early rickets, bone deformation, scoliosis.
For breastfed infants, both mother and baby should be treated if blood calcium and breast milk are also reduced. In addition, both mother and child should sunbathe in the morning for 30 minutes at a time until the child is able to walk. Maternal and child nutrition needs to increase calcium-rich foods such as fish, shrimp, crabs, meat, eggs, milk and fat..
