POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Mucus or pus in a baby's stool can be concerning and may indicate an underlying issue. It's essential to consult with a pediatrician to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. Possible reasons for mucus or pus in stool include:
1. Infection: Bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections can cause inflammation in the intestines, leading to mucus or pus in the stool.
2. Food intolerance or allergy: Certain foods or ingredients in formula can trigger an allergic reaction or intolerance, resulting in mucus in the stool.
3. Gastrointestinal issues: Conditions like gastroenteritis, colitis, or inflammatory bowel disease can cause mucus or pus in the stool.
4. Teething: Excessive drooling during teething can sometimes lead to mucus in the stool due to swallowing saliva.
In the meantime, you can help by ensuring your baby stays hydrated with breast milk or formula. If your baby is breastfed, continue nursing on demand. If your baby is formula-fed, offer small, frequent feedings. Avoid giving solid foods until you consult with a pediatrician. Keep track of your baby's symptoms and any changes in behavior, and follow up with your pediatrician for further evaluation and guidance.
