Stool Issues

Asked for Female, 7 years

My 5 months baby is passing green stool since 4 to 5 days, doctor has recommended me syrup 'flu act' twice a day but couldn't find any change , I am confused either she is having green coloured stool due to cold or having stomach flu as i have started cerelac in her diet since five days

Dear Patient,

Stool color doesn't indicate flu in any way. However, if her diet is high in something like spinach or with food color then this may cause it.
You can try changing the brand or type of baby food and see if the stools are changing color.
If the child isn't crying before stools, if there's no motion diarrhea, mucus in stool, blood in stool or fever then its best not to worry abt it.
If this persists you can do a Stool DR test.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
