Hi,
I can understand your concerns. Foul smelling stools in a child is most commonly due to stomach infection. in most cases, there are also chances of loose stools. I suggest you to get the child examined by doctor. Child will probably need antibiotic.
I hope this will help you. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
