Patient's question:
The baby, who is three months old and formula-fed, has green stools that have persisted for a long time without any other symptoms.Medical history and treatment effectiveness:
- The baby was given pepsin for a period of time, but it did not help.
Questions:
- Is this physiological or pathological?
- If it is pathological, what should be done?
Doctor's answer:
The child is now three months old. The stool is green and has been for a long time. The reason for not eliminating the formula... The green stool in the child is very likely caused by indigestion. It is recommended that you change the formula for the child. Start by providing a very small amount of the new formula and continue for a week. If the child does not show symptoms of nausea or vomiting, you can focus on increasing the amount. This way, you can see if the child's stool is no longer green. Wish you health!
