My 9 year old son has been having green stools for almost a week. Is this dangerous?

I know it is not from the food, he has no temperature but his appetite is decreasing.

Good evening ma'am,
Sometimes children have a bit of "weird" bowel movements when they are covering up a small virus (e.g., gastro).
In this case, I would suggest continuing to "monitor" for now, considering he is not running a fever and doesn't necessarily seem to be overly impacted by this.
If in 1 week the situation has not changed, I would recommend that you see a doctor.
Good day,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
