What disease does it cause when a breastfed baby has mucus in his stool?

In life, most babies grow up eating breast milk, because breastfeeding is the most scientific way to feed babies. But there is one thing everyone should know: the baby's physical health is related to the quality of the mother's breast milk. In other words, the higher the quality of the breast milk, the healthier the baby will be after drinking it. However, some mothers feed their babies with their own breast milk, but their babies have mucus in their stools. What disease is this?

Acute gastroenteritis is a very common acute gastrointestinal disease. It develops rapidly but recovers quickly, and is often manifested by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. Infants and young children have relatively poor gastrointestinal function and low resistance to external infections, and are prone to illness at the slightest discomfort. Enteritis in children is often caused by unclean things, so the most important thing to prevent it is to ensure the cleanliness of food and its safe storage.

Causes

1. Intestinal infection factors

Generally speaking, children suffer from acute gastroenteritis because of intestinal infection, often caused by viruses and bacteria. Rotavirus infection is more common in autumn and winter. Pathogenic Escherichia coli is the most important bacterial infection.

2. Extraintestinal infection factors

Inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, nephritis, otitis media and other diseases outside the gastrointestinal tract may cause acute gastroenteritis due to fever and absorption of bacterial toxins, which may reduce the secretion of digestive enzymes and increase gastrointestinal motility.

3. Non-infectious factors

(1) Climate factors Changes in climate, such as too cold weather increasing gastrointestinal motility, or too hot weather reducing the secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, can also cause acute gastroenteritis.

(2) Improper feeding If infants and young children are fed improperly, such as eating too much or too little, eating too much starchy food too early, or suddenly changing food or weaning, they may suffer from diarrhea and cause acute gastroenteritis.

(3) Allergic factors: Allergies to milk, eggs, wheat, and nuts may cause symptoms of acute gastroenteritis.

Clinical manifestations

If acute gastroenteritis causes mild diarrhea, the patient is generally in good condition, with less than 10 bowel movements a day, which are yellow or yellow-green in color, with a small amount of mucus or white soap-like stool, and not much feces. Sometimes the stool is "egg drop soup-like". Acute gastroenteritis can also cause severe diarrhea, with bowel movements several to dozens of times a day. Large amounts of watery stools, small amounts of mucus, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and sometimes vomiting of coffee-like substances. If hypokalemia occurs, there may be abdominal distension and symptoms of systemic poisoning; such as irregular low or high fever, irritability and subsequent lack of energy, confusion, and even coma.
