2 year old with multiple small, grainy stools a day. strains to get them out. takes probiotics daily. mothball smell to stool for 3 weeks now. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Explanation : Probiotics should be taking with meal for 3-4 weeks. More fluids and variety of food, what is not easy with 2 years old. It's may happen after some illness and antibiotics treatment, or even without. This is good sign that stool still on the daily basis. Best wishes.
