The : The fever you endured may have entailed some tissue damage that is now prevalent in your feces. Perhaps you were taking some medications that caused your feces to turn green. Also, your feces may have turned green due to digestive enzymes that were passed through in the absence of food. It is not normal, but unless your feces are black, tarry or have coffee grounds (signs of blood) , there is not a medical concern connected to green feces. Ongoing changes in feces should be reported to your doctor, if when you introduce food back into your diet and your feces continue to be green, let your doctor know.

May mean nothing: Color of stool in the absence of significant changes in bowel habits seldom means very much. Green may be bile, particularly since you had not eaten. If the fever is gone, you do not have diarrhea, and no other symptoms, suggest you sit tight and this should clear up. If, however, any of the above, see a doctor asap.
