Patient's question:
The infant has green diarrhea with some particles and foam. Duration of illness and current condition: 20 days. General condition: Diarrhea occurs 10 times a day. Medical history: No previous diagnosis or treatment, and no improvement.Doctor's answer:
Baby's stool has bubbles. It might be due to cold in the stomach. Pay attention to keeping the baby's stomach warm. If the baby's stool becomes more frequent and looser, appearing green, it may be caused by indigestion. Dietary adjustments should be made promptly. The yellow pigment in the stool is caused by bilirubin in bile. The oxidation of bilirubin turns it green. Therefore, green stool is also normal. Additionally, iron-rich formula may also cause green stool. The main issue with the baby's green stool is related to excessive intestinal motility. Generally, occasional green stool is not a problem. If it persists for a longer period, appropriate digestive aids can be used. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to seek medical attention.
