Is The White Color In My Son's Stools Possibly From The Medicines?
My baby is 5 weeks old and has white powder sugar looking clumps scattered throughout his stools. He has thrush and is on Fluconazole and Nystatin. Is the white in his stools possibly from the meds? Could it be yeast? What is it? He is a forumla baby.

Hi... it could be the yeast and if I were your treating pediatrician I would suggest you to get a stool routine examination and microscopy done and follow up with the reports.
But I can assure you one thing - if the kid's milk intake is good and he is otherwise active and gaining weight as expected , then you need not worry.
Oral thrush in a formula fed baby can be prevented further by sterilizing the bottles appropriately.
