Stomach Pain, Gas And Frothy Stools In Child. Cause?
Question: With Stomach pain went Stool more gas and little froth and watery 3 times and he is 4 year old. 2nd potty was immediate after he had some food and 3rd one after he drank water. Now he is sleeping since after an hour
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The stools he had soon after stimulation in the stomach by drinking water or taking food indicates that the problem is due to stomach irritation.
Such irritation could be caused by undercooked food or any undigested food material in the Gastro intestinal tract.
This is self limiting and most of times will end soon after the affecting food material is washed out through the stool.
Do not feed him with any solid or spicy foods now.Give him juices for another 6 hours this will ensure clearance of the affecting food from the intestines and provide him relief.
Do not give him any medications unless the stools are greenish , frequent and child develops fever.
Wish you good health.
