Question
The one-year-old baby is having green, loose stools multiple times a day. How should this be handled? What could be the cause? Have there been any previous treatments? What medication should be used?
Answer
If a one-year-old baby is experiencing multiple episodes of green, loose stools, this is usually a normal physiological phenomenon, often caused by dietary factors. Simply adjusting the diet will allow the baby’s green stools to return to normal quickly. However, if parents are still concerned, it is recommended to bring the baby to the hospital for a stool test. If the results show that everything is normal, the green stools may be due to physiological factors and are not a disease, so no special treatment is needed.
