<s>[INST] Green stool in infants under jaundice treatment. Is something serious? [/INST] No. This is something very common and has no reasons to worry. Infant jaundice usually does not need medication and it disappears within a week or two. However, if your baby has been ordered a jaundice treatment, green stool is a common scenario to witness.

Doctors use phototherapy to treat jaundice in infants. Your baby is put under a light source and the skin and blood absorbs light waves. This light helps the infant's body to change bilirubin into waste that can get eliminated easily.

Post treatment, frequent bowel movements with greenish stool indicates that the body is capable of eliminating the excess bilirubin and thus treating jaundice. Source: Medifee. Link: https://www.medifee.com/faq/Jaundice. Field: Hepatology . Disease: Jaundice </s>
