Question
How to solve the problem of a four-month-old baby’s loose and green stool? The baby has loose, green stool sometimes with a watery consistency, foam, and mucus. Previous treatment and effectiveness: The baby had taken medication at a clinic and showed improvement. What kind of help do I need? What should I do for my baby’s loose and green stool?
Answer
It should be due to dyspepsia, caused by improper feeding and gastrointestinal dysfunction leading to endocrine imbalance. I suggest trying oral Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and Huoxiang Decoction or Sìwèi Pányīu Shū Lì Jīsàn. Shorten the intervals between feedings. Or dilute the formula milk to give the gastrointestinal system a rest. Increase water intake, add complementary foods, and gradually resume a full diet once improvement is achieved. Especially avoid indigestible foods.
