Hi..my 20 month old daughter has very sticky foul smelling stools..when she has the urge she clenches her buttocks and starts going red and sweating..she can do this upto 4 times a day sometime producing a very small amount to a larger amount..the only way I can describe the consistency is like clay..what Could be causing this?
HiT hanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Sudden change in consistency of stools with foul smell indicates viral infection.Don't worry, it will settle soon. You can give her probiotics like saccharomyces and zinc. If it persists get the stool tested for pus cells (infection) and reducing substances (lactose intolerance)Wishing your child speedy recoveryRegards Chat Doctor.
