What Causes Green Stool And UTI In Child?

Antibiotics are unlikely to be the cause.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Urinary tract infection is common in children. It is assuring to know that the cause underlying her long standing illness has been identified and is being managed properly. Completion of the course of antibiotics should resolve the problem. Although the antibiotics can simultaneously kill off the beneficial bacteria that are present in our intestines and thereby may cause some diarrhea, antibiotics still need to be given for the full duration. Greenish stools occur due to rapid transit of the stool through the large intestine where it does not get adequate time for the bile pigments to be converted to the yellow coloured pigment of stool. You need not worry about it. The antibiotics are unlikely to cause this.
Let me know if you have any more queries and I would be glad to help.
Regards


Does not seem to be due to UTI
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.
The green stool does not seem to be related to the UTI and does not seem to be a part of the UTI symptoms.
You should start the antibiotics at the earliest. Also give plenty of water and fluids to drink.
