Patient's question:
My child is 4 months old. Recently, they have had frequent bowel movements, several times a day, but the amount is not much. Some are green, and some are yellow. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
I suggest having your child get a routine stool test. If the test results show no signs of inflammation or infection, there's no need to take anti-inflammatory medication to avoid worsening diarrhea or other symptoms. If the diarrhea is simply due to indigestion, there's no need to worry too much. It's still recommended to give your child medications that improve stomach health and regulate the gut microbiota. There are many causes of digestive diseases in children. If your child is diagnosed with a digestive disorder, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, including measures to reduce gastrointestinal pressure, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating or cold foods.
