What should I do if my baby has green poop these last couple of days?

Patient's question:

The child is four months old and has been having green stools with some white ones that have a slightly fishy smell recently. The child had loose stools two days ago and was given Montmorillonite and Changl kang. One and a half months ago, the child underwent an intestinal fistula surgery due to intestinal obstruction and intestinal necrosis. Recently, the child cries every time they have a bowel movement and doesn't let others wipe them?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, green stools in babies indicate digestive issues, which is also a common condition in clinical diagnosis. This is caused by poor digestion, leading to inadequate absorption capacity in children. If the child shows no abnormal symptoms such as crying, abdominal pain, or dry retching, there is no need to worry. Pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm and observe carefully. You can take oral lactase enzyme tablets or Baochi pills, among other medications, and focus on a healthy diet.
