Question
What’s causing my two-month-old baby to have green stools?
Answer
It is recommended to carefully examine the baby’s stool test to determine whether it is due to pediatric dyspepsia or enteritis. Possible causes may include intestinal dysfunction caused by a cold. If it is dyspepsia, it is suggested to take oral Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid or Montmorillonite Powder, and in severe cases, medical consultation is necessary, which may require intravenous treatment. You can shorten the interval between feedings to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest and increase water intake. If the baby has started on complementary foods, it should be temporarily suspended or adjusted, and then gradually resumed after the symptoms improve. Particularly, it should avoid eating indigestible foods.
