What should I do if a child has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my child has been having green diarrhea recently. At first, I gave him medicine, but since the symptoms didn't improve, I took him to the hospital. Now the medicine is almost finished, and he hasn't fully recovered yet. I'm a bit worried. How should I handle green diarrhea in children?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, if the child has nausea, vomiting, and green-colored stools, it should primarily be considered as caused by poor supplementation. Therefore, it is recommended to have the child tested for stool routine and occult blood tests to clarify the cause of the elevated white blood cells. Additionally, it is suggested to give the child oral Bifidobacterium triple live bacteria and spleen-nourishing children granules for treatment. Carefully observe the child's diet during this period and try to eat foods that are easy to digest.
