Patient's question:
The baby is just 7 months old. First, it started with coughing, then it began to have a fever. The baby's bowel movements are green, with 5 to 6 times a day, and each time it's a small amount of poop that comes out with gas.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there's an 80-90% chance that your baby's green stool is caused by indigestion. It is recommended to pay more attention to your baby's diet, avoiding overfeeding in one sitting and opting for small, frequent meals. You can provide digestive aid tablets to help with absorption. Probiotics and lactase can help alleviate nausea, vomiting, and green stools. If the cough is severe, you may also use children's lung clearing and cooling blood granules, but be sure to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Pay attention to keeping warm, especially the abdomen, and avoid introducing other complementary foods for now. You can give some thick millet soup if appropriate. If breastfeeding, the mother should eat warm, easily digestible foods.
