What Does Thick & Clay Like Stool In Children Suggest?
My son will be five on the 25th of this month. He is pretty much potty trained but he cant seem to get past the pooping. his stool is normal in color but the texture seems very thick and clay like. he doesn't complain of any pain or show any signs of sickness. Should he be taken to the doctor?
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day There is no cause for concern if there is no distention of abdomen and is gaining weight regularly. The consistency of stool depends on type of feeds given, if formula feeds are initiated they stoool may be bit firm.
Take care
