A three-month-old child experienced diarrhea after a cold and cough. After a week of medication showed no improvement, the medication was discontinued. It is recommended to first test the child’s stool to rule out gastrointestinal infection. If infection is present, anti-inflammatory drugs should be taken in addition to montmorillonite powder and probiotics. If the test results exclude infection, dietary adjustments can be made to improve the condition. Since the child is young and has low resistance, special attention should be paid to the child’s dietary hygiene, regularly disinfecting bottles, towels, and basins. If breastfed, also keep the nipple clean. Additionally, be aware of conditions that may trigger malnutrition-related diarrhea, which also requires parents’ attention.
What should you do if a 3-month-old baby has green stools? Breastfed babies may have green stools that are normal. Green stools can also occur if there is poor absorption of iron from formula milk or dietary supplements; hunger, catching a cold, overeating, and indigestion can all lead to green stools. It is recommended that mothers feed their babies according to the principle of small and frequent meals, avoid cold and difficult-to-digest foods; at the same time, avoid wind and cold, pay attention to warmth, and exercise appropriately to strengthen the physique; if diarrhea is severe, consider indigestion, gastrointestinal dysfunction, or intestinal infection, and consult a regular stool test for an accurate diagnosis, and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
