Examination and diagnosis of brown or dark green mucus in infants

Diarrheal feces, too much water in the feces or uneven stools, like egg soup, obvious fishy smell or very foamy or mucus, etc., which indicate that the baby has diarrhea. The stools of artificially fed children are green, indicating increased bowel movements or symptoms of bowel inflammation, and are also a feature of diarrhea.

Identification of symptoms that are easily confused by brown or dark green mucus in infants

There are several other common pathological feces in children: nodular feces: reasons: 1. Fat in milk is easy to alkalize, which makes the feces very dry and hard. 2. The infants have poor constitution, insufficient intestinal peristalsis, and feces stay in the intestine for too long, which causes water to be absorbed and makes the stool particularly dry and hard. 3. Due to the large amount of casein and minerals in milk, it is easy to make milk-fed children's feces dry, which is the main reason for infancy. Therefore, when feeding with milk, the rice soup can be used to dilute the milk, which does not cause casein, fat and minerals to agglomerate, and reduces stool formation. 4, too little crude fiber in children's food (too little intake of vegetables, fruits, etc.) can not poop on time, but also easy to settle. When you do nt have a bowel movement for two days, you can use soap to cut into a pinky-like soap bar and insert it into your anus. Press and hold the anus for a few minutes and the stool will be discharged. Once every two days, the stool will be eliminated. Do not use sesame oil and lard as laxatives. Babies may develop more than diarrhea after they use the lard or lard to guide the stool.

Hemorrhagic stools: If there is pure blood in the stool, you must consult a doctor immediately. Common cases of infants with intestinal blood include intussusception, feces often have bloody pulp (with paroxysmal abdominal pain, and sometimes no symptoms of abdominal pain), mucus and bloodshot in the feces, less defecation, and a defecation frequency There may be 5 to 6 or less than 10 times a day, and sometimes pus and blood are present, dysentery should be considered. But when taken orally, iron can be black.

Sugary dyspepsia feces: It is characterized by increased stool frequency, quantity, yellow-green color, rough faeces, pasty or piled, with a lot of foam, and a strong sour taste. Starch foods such as milk cakes and sugar are overfed, and children often have bloating and anal exhaust.

Protein indigestible feces: It is characterized by an increased number of stools, usually 3 to 5 times, yellowish-brown watery stools or gray-white hard stools, with a pungent smell of rotten eggs, and sometimes the same kind of exhaust gas in children. The excretion of this kind of feces mostly means that you are feeding too much milk and too little sugar.

Fat dyspepsia feces: It is characterized by a large amount of defecation, light yellow paste or liquid, shiny color, can slide in the potty, and has a foul odor. This is mainly caused by the fact that the fat in the food is not well digested.

Diarrheal feces, too much water in the feces or uneven stools, like egg soup, obvious fishy smell or very foamy or mucus, etc., which indicate that the baby has diarrhea. The stools of artificially fed children are green, indicating increased bowel movements or symptoms of bowel inflammation, and are also a feature of diarrhea.

Prevention of baby brown or dark green mucus

Considering that your child's diarrhea may be caused by hunger, you can increase your food intake from a small amount. After the increase in appetite, the number of stools does not increase, and you can continue to increase the amount. Even if the stool is increased 1-2 times, it can still be continued. After 3-4 days of observation, the number of stools can be increased without increasing the number of stools. This is how to observe and increase the amount until the diet can meet the needs of the baby.
