Question
The newborn is 23 days old, has loose stools that are green in color, and is accompanied by mild cold symptoms. The baby has been exclusively breastfed. The current treatment and its effectiveness include the administration of children’s ammonia and expectorant cough medicine. I would like to understand if the stool is normal and whether a doctor’s visit is necessary.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s loose, green stools may be due to digestive disorders, which are directly related to the feeding method. If there are no vomiting symptoms, digestive aids such as lactase can be used for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold. These suggestions should help with the issue of “a 23-day-old newborn with loose stools that are green.” Wishing for health.
