Patient's question:
Patient Age: 30 daysDetailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: What is the reason for the baby's yellow-green stool?
Medical History:
Duration of the current illness and persistence: 1-2 days
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation should be a symptom of enteritis. From a TCM perspective, it is closely related to damp-heat in the spleen and stomach. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. If the baby has 2-3 bowel movements within 24 hours, and the weight gain is not less than two pounds per month, then it is not a concern. If the number of bowel movements suddenly increases to 4-5 times, and the stool characteristics also change, it is important to pay attention to whether the baby is truly experiencing diarrhea. If it is difficult to make a correct judgment, you can send a stool sample for testing to confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment.
