My baby has only had one bowel movement five or six times in the past two days. How should it be treated?

Patient's question:

My baby has had one bowel movement five or six times a day, and it's green. This has only appeared in the past two days. What's going on?
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Not concerned about it.
Request: Please give me an answer as soon as possible.

Doctor's answer:

A day again appears with 5 or 6 bowel movements, which is the case of nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting (diarrhea) is a common symptom, referring to a significantly lower frequency of bowel movements than usual, with thin stool, increased moisture, and daily stool output less than 200g, or containing undigested food or pus, blood, or mucus. Nausea and vomiting are often accompanied by a sense of urgency to defecate, anal discomfort, and other symptoms. Nausea and vomiting are divided into acute and chronic types. Acute nausea and vomiting occur abruptly, with a course of 2 to 3 weeks.
