Patient's question:
A 3-month-old baby, whose bowel movements have always been yellow, was found to have a slightly black tint in the morning (Figure 1). By the evening, it had improved significantly (Figure 2). What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to assist you. Based on the information you've provided, your baby is almost three months old, and their stool is black and green. This is preliminarily diagnosed as infantile indigestion. According to your description and medical history, the condition is likely caused by infantile indigestion. I recommend giving your child probiotics and chicken gizzard (Ji Nei Jin) orally. Also, pay attention to keeping your child warm and avoid extremely cold foods. The above suggestions are for this issue. I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
