Patient's question:
Baby is six and a half months old. A few days ago, they had green poop, but the past two days, they've had black poop with a sour smell. Every time they pass gas, poop comes out with it. In the morning, they had six bowel movements. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, it is recommended to perform a stool test for the child's condition, which is likely due to some digestive issues. Pay attention to preventing cold in the child's abdomen, and consider eating small, frequent meals. Additionally, consuming probiotics can help regulate the gastrointestinal tract. If the child is breastfed, the mom should also pay close attention to her diet. It is also advised that parents monitor the indoor humidity and temperature, provide proper care, and improve stool examination to diagnose any inflammation. Seeking help from a professional pediatric massage therapist for manipulation and observation can also be beneficial.
