Patient's question:
The baby's stool turned dark green. On the sixth day, in the morning, I took her to the hospital and she ate a sugar pill. In the afternoon, I fed her milk, but by the third day in the morning, her stool became a paste-like, dark green color.Previous treatment and effectiveness: No medications were used for the time being.
What kind of assistance is needed: What is the issue and how can it be resolved?
Doctor's answer:
Stool like rice soup, indicates intestinal infectious disease. Black or tar-like stool, suggests gastrointestinal bleeding. In cases of indigestion, there may be recurrence of spitting up milk and green stool. If you cannot determine the cause, you need to see a doctor for a thorough examination of the stool. If there is contagion, active treatment is required. If test results are normal, it may be due to indigestion or abdominal cold.
