Question
A 5-month-old baby developed diarrhea due to gastrointestinal discomfort and has been taking Children’s Rehabilitation medicine powder for two days. Today, the baby’s stools turned blackish green, and the parents are suspicious whether the medication is to blame. The baby is currently only consuming breast milk, cow’s milk, and a small amount of rice gruel.
Answer
Hello, based on your description, Children’s Rehabilitation medicine powder may be the cause of the stool discoloration. Have you noticed any cessation of diarrhea? If the symptoms have improved, you may consider stopping the use of Children’s Rehabilitation medicine powder. The causes of pediatric digestive diseases are complex. If diagnosed, please cooperate with your doctor for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Additionally, a reasonable diet and avoiding irritating and cold foods are also important for the child.
