Hi dear,
I understand your concern.I need more details.Which analysis had done? He needs stool culture for flora and sensitivity. Greenish stool suggest dysbiosis,it can be colour of fermented proteins. If he didn't have antibiotics then give him Cefixime 4mg/kg/dose twice a day for 5 days, sporolac.
Hope it helps
