When a baby is born, the atmosphere at home becomes very warm and harmonious. When the baby is uncomfortable, the atmosphere at home will change, and parents are very anxious. When sending a baby to the hospital for examination, stool examination is a routine examination. So what can be found by checking the baby's stool?
Checking a baby's stool can generally detect gastrointestinal diseases, such as yellow green stool that may indicate pseudomembranous colitis; The baby's stool is watery or porridge, which may be acute gastroenteritis; The presence of mucus in the baby's stool may indicate dysentery or ulcerative colitis.
When checking the baby's stool, parents need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Prepare plastic wrap. Parents should not directly choose to defecate on diapers, as the water in the feces on diapers will be absorbed and the cells will be damaged. Therefore, parents can prepare a plastic wrap to catch the baby's feces before they are ready to defecate.
2. Flow pus and blood. If pus and blood are found in the baby's stool, parents should also keep a portion of the pus and blood.
3. Do not exceed one hour in time. After taking the baby's stool, parents should immediately take them to the hospital, preferably within an hour. They can choose the nearest hospital to their home, have a pediatrician write a list, and then take them to the laboratory.
