Patient's question:
Newborn, initially there were no abnormalities as they had not been fed for a day and a half due to lack of milk. Now that milk has become available, they have started breastfeeding, but have developed diarrhea symptoms. The stool is green in color with curds, and there is a lot of liquid in the stool, as if there are gas stools (farting mixed with loose stools). The stool frequency is high, occurring 5-6 times a day. Please help me understand what might be happening? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description of your child's condition, it is recommended to go to the hospital to test the stool to identify the cause of the diarrhea. You can use Montmorillonite powder to stop the diarrhea. It is suggested to go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination and treatment to avoid your child from dehydration due to diarrhea.
