Expected help: Please provide an accurate treatment plan and explain what is actually happening; the cause of the illness.
Doctor's answer:
The stool is loose and green, which can be caused by various factors such as a cold in the abdomen, hunger, or incomplete absorption of iron from the formula milk the baby is consuming, which can also make his stool green. If the baby is generally unwell, has a fever, or is vomiting, it may indicate inflammation in the intestines. It is recommended to keep the baby's abdomen warm. Carefully observe the daily number of bowel movements, check for fever and vomiting, and pay close attention to signs of dehydration. Give the baby more fluids daily. If the frequency of bowel movements increases, it is necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous fluid replacement.
