What Causes Stomach Pain In Babies?
My 1-year-old baby complains of on and off stomach pains since yesterday and passes yellow watery stools with very foul-smelling odor (twice a day since yesterday). I suspect it to be amoebiasis though I cant tell if it has some mucus in it. She was feverish last night, around 37.5C maybe, but it responded well to paracetamol. She has 1 tooth coming out. I breast fed her purely. Can it be amoeba?

amoebic infection is unlikely if your child is purely breast fed.it could be a viral diarhoea.
ensure that you give her plenty of fluids (ors) some prebiotics and zinc syrup.
at 1 year exclusive breast feeding may not be adequate for your childs needs. you should also introduce semi solids in her diet once the diarhoea subsides
you can deworm the child once she is better
please visit the doctor if the loose motions dont subside
hope this solves your query
