Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of persistent greenish loose stools. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like lactose intolerance, infection of the gut , food poisoning, electrolyte disturbances, inflammation of the gut colitis, food intolerance and various rare disorders of the gut. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician for proper examination. You should avoid giving child any outside food. Give child proper rest. Drink plenty of fluids. Doctor may prescribe loperamide , laxative , omeprazole and antacids . For now give your child fruits like banana and lot of fluid .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
