Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I had two bowel movements, and at the end there was a bit of foam. Yesterday morning, I had one bowel movement that was quite good and a bit thick. This morning, I had some dark green poop, but it wasn't very runny. I ate fennel seed buns. Yesterday evening, the baby played with the milk bottle and drank a little cool water. I didn't feed any. Previously, I used to feed him and egg yolk twice a day, but he ate raw apple, which I mashed with a small spoon and fed him.What kind of help do I need: What could be the reason for this? What should I pay attention to?
Doctor's answer:
Green stool in a child may be due to reasons such as indigestion or exposure to cold. For the child's condition, it is recommended to first pay attention to keeping the child warm (especially the abdomen), maintaining a clean diet (including breastfeeding), and avoiding cold and raw foods. Additionally, oral medications such as probiotics can be given to regulate the digestive system. It is also advisable to gently massage the child's abdomen (usually in a clockwise direction, using the palm to lightly rub the infant's abdomen, with attention to starting from the navel and rubbing from left to right. It is generally recommended to massage for 10 times, rest for 5 minutes, then massage for another 10 times, and repeat the process 3 times), to reduce gastrointestinal spasms and improve digestive function.
