Question

An 8-month-old baby is experiencing indigestion, with green stools and a sour taste. Is this considered indigestion? The baby had diarrhea before, with stools sometimes green and sometimes yellow. The hospital prescribed Montmorillonite Powder and Lactobacillus Bifidus Live Bacteria Capsules. Now, although the stools are no longer loose, they are still green. How should this be handled?

Answer

You can give the baby probiotics to adjust the intestinal absorption function; complementary foods should be based on soft, easily digestible foods such as vegetable puree, millet congee, soft noodles, and rice porridge, avoiding greasy foods, and ensuring abdominal warmth. If the symptoms do not improve, it is important to go to the hospital for a detailed examination and use digestive aids under the guidance of a pediatrician.
