Question
My child is a few months old, and I’ve noticed recently that he has been having diarrhea with greenish, loose stools. What could be the cause of this? Is this situation normal? What should I do?
Answer
The child may have gastroenteritis, especially if there are purulent cells in the stool, which may indicate dysentery. It is recommended to give the child medications such as Lomotil powder and cefixime for treatment, while also administering Montmorillonite powder to stop diarrhea. It’s also important to adjust the diet, such as switching to formula that is less likely to cause vomiting and thin rice porridge, etc.
