Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
In general, foamy stools in infants are usually caused by indigestion or diarrhea. Indigestion may result from inappropriate food intake or immature digestive system development, while diarrhea may be triggered by viruses, bacteria, parasites, or other factors. When an infant has foamy stools, parents should provide timely and appropriate care to prevent complications such as dehydration.
