Patient's question:
My child is almost 4 months old and is breastfed. Recently, she has been having green, foamy stools. I took her to the hospital for a stool test, and the doctor said it is caused by bacteria, not physiological diarrhea. I would like to ask what medicine would be better to take. What medicine is better? Duration and course of the illness: Over 10 days. Current general condition: Doing well mentally.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the child is just four months old and has green stool symptoms. The following reasons may be causing it. If the child is formula-fed, it could be normal stool. If the child is mixed-fed, it may be due to gastrointestinal flora imbalance leading to indigestion or intestinal infection. For the child's condition, it is recommended to conduct a routine stool examination in pediatric internal medicine. Combined with clinical examination, the cause should be identified before treatment. Do not give the child any medication randomly. Proper medication should be administered based on the test results.
