Question
A 50-day-old baby has been consistently passing sticky stools, occasionally with green, and sometimes yellow. Does this indicate indigestion?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s condition may be indigestion, leading to changes in stool consistency. It is recommended to first conduct a routine stool test to rule out the possibility of enteritis. If the test results do not show bacterial infection, it can be diagnosed as indigestion. Treatment can be done by taking digestive aids such as chicken gizzard powder,Jianpi San (tonifying the spleen powder), and probiotics, while also ensuring abdominal warmth. This can effectively improve the baby’s condition.
