Brief Answer:
If no other symptoms, no need for concern

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using 'Ask a Doctor'. Green stool, with no other symptoms, would not be particularly concerning and there wouldn't be any need to go to the ER. It may be related to diet or possibly the drugs that you took. If it persisted for more than a couple weeks, I would see a doctor about it, but I would expect it to clear within a few days.

However, if you were having abdominal pain or fever, it may be a sign of a bacterial infection that may need antibiotics, and I would suggest being seen for that, whether in the ER, urgent care, or by your regular doctor.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
