Reasons for a 2-Year-Old Child Suddenly Having Green Stools

Question

The 2-year-old baby suddenly has green stools, the color of the stool is like spinach leaves, but the baby has no other discomfort symptoms. What could be the reason?

Answer

If the baby has good appetite and no other discomfort, this may be a normal phenomenon, possibly related to diet, such as consuming a large amount of spinach-like or high-sugar foods, or mild abdominal cold. This is usually not pathological and there is no need to worry too much. However, if you are concerned that the baby may have digestive disorders due to spleen deficiency, pay attention to keeping the baby’s abdomen warm. Overall, the issue is not serious and there is no need to be overly worried.
