Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Foul smelly stool with frequency suggest that there is some infection in the stomach. Needs to be evaluated with stool culture sensitivity which will give us the exact cause of infection and also the exact drug to be used.
Hope the query is answered.
Please take care of the hydration and hand to mouth hygiene.
Thanks
