Question
Can children’s green stool be treated?
Answer
The child’s belly always seems inflamed; a six-month-old breastfeeding baby often has diarrhea with green stool and milk residue. When taking medicine, the stool is thick and green, but without medication, it’s loose and can happen up to four or five times a day, making the child very fussy. Lately, even with medication, there has been no improvement. Previous treatment situations and effects: When the six-month-old baby takes medicine, the stool is thick and green; without medication, it’s loose with milk residue and turns green. If the medicine is stopped, diarrhea starts immediately, happening up to four or five times a day. What kind of help can be provided? How should treatment be approached? What detailed checks are needed?
Possible Causes of Green Stool in Babies:
- Babies may experience regurgitation and green stool again under conditions of indigestion or catching a cold. If the cause cannot be determined, it is necessary to see a doctor, check the stool condition, and actively treat if there is an infection. If the test results are normal, it may be due to indigestion or abdominal cold.
- When a baby is not full, hunger can lead to rapid gastrointestinal motility, resulting in green and loose stools.
- If you believe the baby eats a lot, it might be due to indigestion. Try giving her probiotics.
