What Causes Loose Stool For 18 Month Old Child?
Hi Doctor, My son is 18 months old and for the last couple of days he is having some issues with his stomach. He tells us that he wants to go for potty after 15 to 20 min after having food. The stool seems to be ok at the first batch every time time and followed with lot of gas and non digested food with clear fluids. Is there something i need to worry? Should I take him to doctor in person. Info : his teething is in it peak, he is very active, shows no signs discomfort or pain. Thanks in advance Bob

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I had gone through the history given here and I could say that it is nothing to worry because it is the absolute normal phenomenon, if the child does not have any symptoms then it is nothing to worry, passing of the stool after meal is pretty common and it is not the sign of any disease, it will be stop later of sooner on its own, and no need to worry about this,, hope this information helps.
