Why Does My Stool Turn Dark Green After Taking Yinzhihuang?

After taking Yinzhihuang, the baby's stool turns dark green, which may be related to the drug itself, or may be due to the stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract by Yinzhihuang leading to indigestion, resulting in changes in stool color, and even bleeding, which seriously threatens the baby's health. Considering that the green stool is the color of the Yinzhihuang drug itself, Yinzhihuang is mainly used for the treatment of jaundice, and when the baby discharges jaundice, the color of the stool will darken, but it should still be yellow-based. After oral administration of Yinzhihuang, the stool turns dark green, which should be considered as the color of the Yinzhihuang drug itself. It may also be due to the stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract by Yinzhihuang leading to indigestion, and severe cases may even lead to diarrhea. At this time, indigestion will also lead to green stool color, and severe cases may even lead to blood in the stool. Therefore, the current method for treating jaundice in infants is generally blue light irradiation, which has fewer side effects. Yinzhihuang granules contain bitter and cold traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, which have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, removing dampness and removing jaundice. They are mainly used to treat jaundice caused by liver and gallbladder damp-heat. Adverse reactions include diarrhea, vomiting, rash, etc. Adults can use it under the guidance of a professional doctor, and it is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women. Children should use the medicine under the guidance of a doctor and adult supervision.
