What Causes White Lumpy Stool In A Child?
My daughter is 4 months old. She just got her 4 month shots two days ago. She is formula fed and has never had issues with bowels before. Today she has had 4 diapers full of white lumps, looks like cottage cheese mixed in with her regular stool. I m just wandering if this could be caused by the shots or I should be concerned?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the diarrhea in children are self limiting and hydration is the matter of concern, passing the stool of 4 to 5 in day would be normal one, and if this goes on happening for days then stool need to be sent for analysis because then it could be infection, without the test it can be managed with, "Lyophilized lactobacillus" else this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
