Question
This morning, my child’s stool turned an extremely deep green, resembling the color of spinach leaves. They only had four small stools, with the last one having a normal yellow color. I would like to know what this situation is? Is my child sick?
Answer
This situation is first considered to be caused by dyspepsia. It is recommended to give the child digestive aids such as probiotics. Additionally, it is suggested to conduct a detailed regular stool check for any signs of infection. If present, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be added. Pay attention to keeping warm, preventing the impact of cold air, maintaining a balanced diet, eating nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Also, visit the pediatric department of the hospital in a timely manner for a follow-up examination and check-up. translationKey,department,title,ask,answer pediatric-66504,Pediatrics Other,What to Do If Your Baby Suddenly Has Green Stool?,This morning, my child’s stool was extremely green, like spinach leaves.
