Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
.my baby is 26 months. Last night he cried a lot maybe pain due to constipation and he would not listen to cajoling, admonishment, fear etc. Then as he wailed he had some white froth in his mouthwhich we wiped off witha towel . After continuing to wail for another 20 minutes he cooled down and playing normally now. Is the froth dangerous or does it happen if crying excessively under stress?? This is the first time of froth but he usually cries a lot when scolded or things dont go his way.
This may be r related to IBS and chronic constipation (spasms). That is particularly true when you consume foods like nuts or popcorn that would trigger spasms of the bowel.
I suggest running colonoscopy to exclude organic problems first. With regards to finding blood floating in the toilet after you pass the motion, that would be related to possible:
- fissures due to chronic constipation
- haemorrhoids
In both cases, you need to take measures to reduce constipation that would trigger such problems:
- do more physical activity
- increase water consumption
- take more foods high in fibre content
- fibre supplements can help
- can use laxatives once in a while to improve the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
