Question
My child has had diarrhea for several days, and has been receiving intravenous treatment at the village clinic for 3 days, but there is still no improvement. Now, the stool has turned green, and I’m a bit worried. I’ve already seen a doctor, but nothing has changed. I’m thinking of going to the hospital for a stool test. Do I also need to have a routine blood test? Thank you.
Answer
A baby’s digestive capacity has its limits. If the food consumed exceeds their capacity, diarrhea can occur. Due to differences in dietary habits, health conditions, and individual variations, some mothers’ breast milk may contain excessive nutrients (mainly fats) beyond what the baby needs, leading to diarrhea.
