Hello Sir,My 3months old nephew is passing green stools,6-7 times a day.His stool test reflects 5-7 pus cells and yeast .He was prescribed Eco norm (1sachet) per day by his paedatric.But still no relief.Can u explain the significance of Yeast in stool.Fo info after eco norm,pus cells have reduced.
Welcome to the ChatDoctorI have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Yeast in stools in an active child with no other illness is a perfectly normal finding. It just happens because it may be a part of normal gut flora. There is no need for treatment. Normally, infants show great variations in poops in terms of frequency, consistency and color. Green poops usually occur due to excess lactose in feeds. In a breastfed child its due to more intake of fore milk than hind milk. So, just a proper and complete breastfeeding can easily treat your nephew. In case he is on formula feeds, then ensure proper dilution and hygiene. Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questionsTake care
