Doctor's answer:
Thank you for your inquiry. Based on the situation you described, we hope the following suggestions will be helpful to you.Green stools in babies are a common clinical manifestation of indigestion. This occurs due to inadequate digestive absorption in children. If the child shows no abnormal symptoms such as crying, abdominal pain, vomiting, or dry heaves, there is no need to worry. Pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm and monitor the situation carefully. You can start by taking lactase enzyme tablets and Wangshi Baoci Pills orally.
