Question
My 9-month-old baby has been having green stools since two days ago, and it has been continuous for three days now, with varying frequency each day. What could be the cause and how should I solve it?
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the baby may have a slowed intestinal movement due to acute vomiting, which causes bile to flow into the intestines, resulting in green stools. This is usually a temporary condition, and as the vomiting symptoms improve, the stool color will also return to normal. Parents should observe the baby’s diet, activity, and mental state. If there are no other discomforts, there is no need to worry too much. If the situation persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
