Question
My baby has loose, green stool that has been going on for 3 to 4 days. I am seeking a precise treatment plan and an explanation of the cause.
Answer
The baby’s loose green stool may be caused by factors such as abdominal cold, hunger, incomplete absorption of iron from formula milk, or inflammation in the intestines. If the baby is in good condition, it is only necessary to pay attention to warmth, monitor stool frequency, and ensure adequate water intake. If accompanied by symptoms such as fever or vomiting, it may indicate intestinal inflammation, and attention should be paid to signs of dehydration and increased fluid intake. If there are frequent stools, immediate medical attention and fluid replacement are recommended.
