Patient's question:
A six-month-old child has recently been having green bowel movements. They have taken some Simethicone and used Baby Yitie Ling externally, but there has been no improvement. Please ask the doctor, what is going on? Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
The digestive system of babies is not yet fully developed, and they are prone to adaptability issues. Various factors, such as irregular diet, improper nutritional balance, sudden changes in food types, excessive nutrition, hunger, cold exposure, or even fright, can cause green stools. Usually, adjusting the diet is sufficient, and there is no need to worry. If you cannot determine the cause, it is necessary to see a doctor for a stool examination. If there is an infection, active treatment is required. If the test results are normal, it may be due to indigestion or abdominal cold exposure.
