Question
A four-and-a-half-month-old baby is experiencing diarrhea, with green feces that contain jelly-like thick fluid and foam. The symptoms have persisted for one month and twenty days. During this time, the baby has been seen by multiple experts and has taken various medications, but the symptoms have not improved. The stool test shows a positive norovirus result, and the baby has been taking triple-virulent lactic acid bacteria capsules.
Answer
Based on your description, the four-and-a-half-month-old male baby’s diarrhea, with green feces that contain jelly-like thick fluid and foam, may be due to dyspepsia. The stool test shows a positive norovirus result, and the baby has been taking triple-virulent lactic acid bacteria capsules. It is recommended to increase the oral intake of Montmorillonite powder, which helps protect the intestinal mucosa, absorb viruses, and thus promote the recovery from diarrhea. Additionally, greenish feces are common in dyspepsia; when feces are acidic, bilirubin in the feces may appear greenish. This is not a serious issue; once digestive function returns to normal, the fecal color will turn to yellow.
