What Could Smelly Stools With Stomach Sores In Children Suggest?

Hello,

This is due to intestine infection with gut flora disturbances.

Certain precautions must be followed for the better outcome such as:

- Give her more liquids in form of oral rehydration salt, homemade juices, butter milk et cetera
- Diet must avoid dairy fat, junk foods
- Check that she chews food thoroughly
- Sure that she does not keep toys or other stuffs in mouth when playing, also hand hygiene before eating, after using washroom matters
- If persistent, requires antibiotic, pro biotics prescription from paediatrician

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
