Question
My baby is two months old and their stool has turned dark green. Is this normal? Is a body temperature of 36.9 degrees considered a fever? Please provide expert answers, thank you!
Answer
The possible reasons for a baby’s stool turning dark green include: 1. Catching a cold or indigestion; 2. Not being full enough leading to rapid intestinal peristalsis; 3. Indigestion or abdominal cold; 4. Insufficient iron intake; 5. Normal reaction after introducing solid food. If the cause cannot be determined, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a stool examination. If there is an infection, active treatment should be sought; if the test results are normal, it may be due to indigestion or abdominal cold.
