Hello and welcome to HCM,
Green colored stools in 6 month old child suggests bacterial infection of the gastrointestinal tract.
Increased frequency of stools suggests diarrhea.
Presence of pus cells (10-12) suggests infection in the large intestine.
Thus, you need to consult your pediatrician for clinical assessment and prescription of antibiotics.
Thanks and take care
