Patient's question:
A child has green loose stools, and the stools are becoming increasingly watery and green with a gurgling sound. What should be done?Duration and onset of the illness: Two weeks
Current general condition: Four times from midnight to 12 p.m. today
Medical history: Previous episodes were less severe.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Green stools may indicate poor digestion or a cold. Giving some medication can help improve the condition. If the child is on formula, has the formula been changed? It might be related to improper formula change, causing diarrhea. Additionally, it’s important to give more fluids and be careful not to let the child dehydrate. Fluids can be administered when appropriate. Don’t worry too much—things will gradually get better. It can’t be rushed, and the hospital can’t treat it quickly either. As long as the child doesn’t dehydrate and their diet is normal, everything will be fine.
