Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion if the frothy stools are associated with diarrhea or fever or vomitings then it means gut infection.Then you might need a course of antibiotics.Only one episode of frothy stools with no associated symptoms might not be a worrisome.Avoid spicy and oily diet.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres.
