Patient's question:
Newborn baby, at one month old, took them out for vaccination but the vaccination didn't go through. They felt very cold after coming back, and then had green poop for two days. When touched, the stomach feels a bit hard. They are exclusively formula-fed and previously did not have green poop. Is it due to catching a cold or poor digestion? Should we wait a few more days before going again? Will the green poop interfere with getting the hepatitis B vaccine?Doctor's answer:
This is a symptom of poor digestion, likely due to catching a cold. Excessive fright from the cold and poor digestion can both lead to green stools. It is recommended to apply warm compresses to the baby's abdomen, taking care to monitor the temperature and avoid overheating to prevent burns. Once the baby's stomach has recovered, you can proceed with the vaccination. If breastfeeding, it is advised that the mother pay attention to her diet, avoiding extremely cold, spicy, and greasy foods, while consuming more light and nutritious meals. Also, monitor the baby's condition regularly.
