Question
My child is 100 days old and has been having green stools once a day, sometimes twice. Everything else seems normal. Laboratory and examination results: None. Previous treatment and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do I need? Is this situation normal? How can I prevent my child from having green stools?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby might have caught a slight cold. It’s suggested that you warm up your baby’s belly when you have time, put on a belly wrap to keep them warm, and protect their abdomen from the cold. Since babies have tender digestive systems, you can consider adjusting or stopping oral medication as needed to avoid increasing gastrointestinal pressure and alleviate nausea or vomiting. In fact, a belly button patch can be used; it’s a pure Chinese medicine patch that can nourish the gastrointestinal system through the navel, treat nausea and vomiting, and does not directly affect the gastrointestinal tract, so there’s no need to worry about harming your baby’s stomach.
