What is the reason for the baby's yellow stool when being artificially fed?

Patient's question:

My baby is 2 months old and formula-fed. Today, her stool is yellow with some green color and has a slightly sour odor. Is it possible that there is fermentation in her stomach?
What kind of help do I need: Is this serious? Will probiotics help?

Doctor's answer:

According to the description, this situation should be cautious of the possibility of indigestion and other causes. The underlying reasons may be related to the absorption capacity of the gastrointestinal tract, irregular diet, such as the unsuitability of formula milk, and other possible causes. This situation should also be mindful of the possibility of other abnormal manifestations, such as nausea and fever.
In this case, the first step is to stabilize emotions, rest appropriately, ensure the quality of deep sleep, and take probiotics or other medications for treatment. If necessary, seek medical consultation in a pediatric department of a regular hospital, such as routine stool tests and MRI monitoring data, and formulate appropriate treatment measures based on the examination results.
