Question
My child has been having green, loose stools for two weeks now. They are becoming more watery and contain things that sound like grumbles. What should I do?
Answer
Hello, your child’s green, loose stools may be due to indigestion or catching a cold. You can give your child some medication to improve the situation. If your child is formula-fed, have you ever changed the formula? It might be because of an inappropriate change in formula that caused your child’s diarrhea. Additionally, please make sure to give your child plenty of water and be cautious about dehydration, and consider giving them some fluids. Don’t worry too much; it will gradually get better as it takes some time, and the hospital cannot treat it quickly. As long as your child does not become dehydrated and their diet is normal, everything will be fine.
