Answer |
Green colour stools usually denote intestinal hurry and are due to the presence of intestinal juices in the stools. They are normally seen in infants, patients with non infective diarrhea etc. They do not require any treatment. However, if you find that your child has jelly like stools, consult a doctor to rule out intussusception, though uncommon in this age group
