Patient's question:
In the past one or two days, my daughter's poop has been green and the frequency has been increasing day by day. The day before yesterday, she had one bowel movement; yesterday, she had two; and today, she had three, all of which were thin and green. What should I do? Because she had diarrhea a month ago and just recovered, I'm afraid it might happen again. Can anyone tell me?Doctor's answer:
Children who drink formula milk can also cause this. The iron element consumed by the baby is not fully digested in the body and is excreted through the feces. When it comes into contact with air, it reacts to form a dark green color, which does not require treatment either. Additionally, it's possible that there may be digestive issues. You should check the baby's stool to see if it's due to indigestion. If the examination shows no problems, it is likely normal. There are no other abnormalities, so it's best to wait and see for now and avoid treatment. Don't worry.
