Why Does My 2 Year Old Son Has A Foul Smelling Poop?

My 2 year old son s poop smells like death. It looks normal, but smells unusually bad. Should I be concerned or is this normal. I realize poop doesn t smell good to begin with, but this is unlike any poop I have ever smelled. It really smells like rotting flesh.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Looks like a minor bowel upset. Give probiotics like sachharomyces once daily for 5 days. If problem persists, get his stool examined.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
