Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to explain your question. Based on your simple description: a one-month-and-50-day-old baby has green bowel movements with a little bit of mucus and a slight fever. Diarrhea in infants is the most common gastrointestinal disease in young children. The fundamental cause of diarrhea in babies is poor immunity and weak resistance to viruses and bacteria. When the intestines are infected, it is very easy for the baby to contract diarrhea. At the same time, if the baby is overfed, which can lead to indigestion, it can also cause diarrhea. Additionally, allergies, colds, and other conditions can also accompany diarrhea symptoms. During acute diarrhea in babies, pay attention to eating small meals frequently. If necessary, probiotics can also be given to the baby, which is very effective.
