Why Do I Have Yellow Liquid in My Stool?

Yellowish diarrhea may be caused by cold exposure, bacterial and viral infections, allergies, and other reasons. Here are the details:

Most cases of yellowish diarrhea are due to severe overreactions in the intestines. Cold exposure is one of the reasons. The external environment or ingestion of cold foods can cause the intestines to be severely chilled, leading to sudden yellowish diarrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to rest promptly, keep warm, drink warm water appropriately, and replenish the lost body fluids.

Any ingestion of bacteria or viruses during eating can cause intestinal inflammation, especially during seasonal transitions when the intestines are very sensitive to diet and immunity is reduced. Many pathogenic bacteria and viruses may take advantage of this and cause intestinal inflammation, resulting in yellowish diarrhea and possibly fever.

Everyone's allergic reactions may vary, and yellowish diarrhea is a typical allergic reaction in the intestines. Once yellowish diarrhea occurs, it is important to avoid eating and drink plenty of warm water while promptly seeking medical attention to determine the specific cause and avoid exposure to allergens.

Diarrhea caused by improper diet is relatively less harmful, and there is a certain possibility of spontaneous recovery. However, if diarrhea with yellowish stool is caused by intestinal infections, the harm is much greater. Therefore, patients should not ignore the symptoms and should seek medical attention promptly to avoid complications such as acute enteritis.

When diarrhea with yellowish stool first occurs, it is advisable to observe for a night to see if it resolves spontaneously. Drinking plenty of plain water can help kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and flush out intestinal bacteria. Eating fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamin C, can also be beneficial. Getting a good night's sleep with proper warmth is also important. If the condition resolves spontaneously, diarrhea should not recur the next day.

If diarrhea with yellowish stool persists for more than three days without improvement, it is recommended to consult a doctor or purchase medication for treatment. There are many medications available for treating this condition, such as Xie Li Ting and Kang En Bei Chang Yan Ning tablets. However, it is best to follow the doctor's instructions for medication use.
