Patient's question:
A four-and-a-half-month-old infant has diarrhea with green stools for half a month. As a parent, I am very worried and afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Regarding the issue I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have a stool test to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. The green color of the baby's stool may be a typical symptom of poor digestion or a cold. In this case, it is advisable to pay more attention to keeping the baby warm and ensure they drink plenty of fluids. Probiotics can be taken to regulate the intestines. During treatment, dietary considerations should be noted. Since the child is still young and needs to be fed with milk, it is recommended to switch to a diarrhea formula.
