Hello, I understand your concern
Green stool alone is not alarming if the child is active, feeding, and not dehydrated. It usually resolves on its own within a week.
Next Steps
Focus on fluid replacement: ORS (oral rehydration solution) after every loose stool
Coconut water, soups, or plain water
Avoid sugary juices or soft drinks
Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, sunken eyes, no tears, reduced urine – seek help if present
Continue a normal diet: small, frequent meals
Avoid high-fat, spicy, or sugary foods
Good choices: rice, curd, bananas, khichdi, toast
Avoid raw veggies or street food
Health Tips
No antibiotics or anti-diarrheals unless prescribed
No self-medication (could worsen the condition)
Red flags:
Diarrhea lasts >7 days
High-grade fever
Blood or mucus in stool
Persistent vomiting
Signs of dehydration or child becoming lethargic

Green loose stools is generally intestinal hurry, nothing to worry, it is just a watchful waiting approach, it will settle on its own and probiotics can help.

Hello parent!
I assume the child is 5 years of age and we are addressing her diet
You may give her the following:
ORS
No milk for now, encourage curd, buttermilk, coconut water
Rice with dahi, moong dal khitchri
Boiled and mashed potatoes
Bananas and apples
White bread toasts and noodles too good
You may give light soups too
