What is the reason for green, sticky, and curdled milk in a baby's 4-month-old stool?

Patient's question:

Medical History: Mixed feeding, consuming Similac formula, having one bowel movement per day. 10 days ago, I gave the baby rice cereal, and then started having diarrhea. The stool is green with mucus and curdled milk. The baby has abdominal bloating, poor sleep, is fussy, and refuses to drink formula. The baby has 3-5 bowel movements per day, with small amounts of stool, and passing gas mixed with stool. There is a rumbling sound in the intestines before each bowel movement. Stool tests were normal.
Past Treatment and Effectiveness: The baby has taken Smecta, Miamio, pepsin, Bao Le An, and mide, but none have been effective. Previously, diarrhea was always resolved with Miamio, but this has never happened before. We have taken so many medications. Additionally, the baby frequently sneezes.
Help Needed: The vaccination schedule is due, but I’m unsure if the baby can receive the vaccine under these conditions. Should we continue taking medication?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the baby's digestive system is still developing. Besides the normal yellow soft stool, sometimes the stool may appear greenish with curds, which is also common. If the baby does not show any discomfort such as frequent vomiting, crying, abdominal colic, or bloating, there is no need for excessive concern. Just treat accordingly. Oral montmorillonite and Mimi Ai can be used, and they generally have no side effects.
Hello, considering the child's condition, a stool test is necessary to determine if there is inflammation. It is recommended to have a stool test. If inflammation is detected, take cefixime. If not, do not take antibiotics. Additionally, you can take Changle Kang and Simethicone together.
