What Causes Green Colored Stools In A 6 Month Old?

Hi Doctor, my son is 6 months old and his stool has been green for the past 8 to 10 days, we did a stool test, the result showed 20-30 pus cells. He is normal and active but he passes loose green stools after almost every feed i.e 6-7 times a day. He is on breast milk.Earlier he used to pass stool once every 3-4 days. I have been advised to not give him any antibiotic since he is active. What do u advice?

Hello. I just read through your question.
Green stools in an otherwise healthy child is not abnormal. I agree that antibiotics are not indicated here. Continued observation is the best approach. If anything changes, contact your doctor.
