Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what's wrong with a 3-month-old baby having green bowel movements?Doctor's answer:
The frequency and consistency of bowel movements in infants and young children often reflect the status of their digestive function. If parents pay attention to observing the texture, color, and frequency of their infants' bowel movements, and can correctly identify normal and abnormal stools, it helps in early detection of issues. Immediate administration of digestive aids, such as pills to regulate digestion, can be given to the child to prevent potential indigestion. Medications like Jianpi San (Strengthen the Spleen Powder), Mamiai Ai (Mother's Love), and Bifidus bacteria preparations can be used. It is advisable to avoid feeding infants with foods that are difficult to digest in the future.
