Patient's question:
Just two months and a day ago, the baby vomited yellow milk twice, and the poop was green. There was also a bit of cough. The doctor at the hospital said it was a respiratory infection, and now they are giving medication. But most of it is wasted because it can't be fed in.I've never had this experience before. I want to know if it's a respiratory infection? How should I give medication?
Doctor's answer:
Low stool volume, frequent bowel movements, green and mucus-like: Common in newborns. Often due to insufficient feeding, rapid gastrointestinal movement, and a mixture of bile, residual food, and secretions in the gastrointestinal tract. This indicates that your baby is not well-nourished.Take action: Pay close attention and understand when your baby is hungry and needs to be fed. If your baby starts to search for food with his mouth when his cheek or lips are touched by a finger or other object, it means he is hungry. At this time, providing sufficient nutrition can help normalize bowel movements.
This is the advice for the question "Is it a respiratory infection if the baby's stool is green and he has a slight cough?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
