Question
What causes green stools in children?
Answer
The color of a child’s stool is usually due to inflammation, or it may be caused by food coloring. Based on your description, it might be due to intestinal inflammation. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a routine stool test to confirm any abnormalities. If there is inflammation, antibiotic treatment such as cephalosporin antibiotics can be used. Additionally, having your child take traditional Chinese medicine like Bao He Wan or Huoxiang Zhengqi Wan may also be effective. At the same time, make sure your child drinks plenty of water. I hope my explanation is helpful, and wish your child a speedy recovery.
