Question
A four-month-old child is experiencing symptoms of diarrhea and indigestion, with loose stools that are greenish in color, reduced appetite, crying and restlessness, and a refusal to drink water.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have issues with indigestion and poor absorption. It is recommended to conduct a routine stool test. Acute diarrhea may be related to rapid intestinal peristalsis, incomplete water absorption, or excessive intestinal secretion. Gastroenteritis may be accompanied by diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bowel sounds. It is important to observe the child’s symptoms for changes and seek medical help promptly.
