Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son has poop that is dark and light green and it looked stringy towards the end when he was almost done it freaked me out and him...what is it? his poop has been green for about a week now and its real strong in smell. he is 5yrs old about 3ft and has no medical history
Hi, Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic. It seems your child is suffering from gastroenteritis, may be secondary to infection or food infection. Is there fever? is there any vomiting? Did he have any food cooked outside home kitchen? Its important to keep your child hydrated, so give him lot of ORS 1/2-1 glass after each loose motion. There are chances he might vomit, so use Syp ondem( Ondansetron) 5 ml 1/2 hour before food maximum 3 times a day. Incase you see no improvement or child has blood in poop, decreased intake of food, decreased activity, please consult a doctor for complete physical examination
Thanks. If you have any more queries I am happy to answer them. Else please rate this answer and close the discussion.
