My child has been passing green-colored stools for the past 5 days. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

Asked by Female, 28 ยท 2 days ago

Green-colored stools in children are often normal and can happen due to diet (green vegetables, iron supplements), faster movement of stool through the intestines, or mild infections. If your child is otherwise active, feeding well, and has no fever, vomiting, or dehydration, it is usually not a cause for concern and settles on its own. Make sure your child stays well hydrated and continues a normal, balanced diet, but monitor for warning signs such as persistent diarrhoea, foul smell, mucus or blood in stool, poor feeding, weight loss, fever, or lethargy; if any of these are present or if the green stools continue beyond a week, it is best to consult a paediatrician for evaluation.
