Can The Medication Cause Unusual Stool?
Hi, My baby is 3 yrs old and the doctor has advised ambrolite-s for cough and cold. He is taking it from last Sunday. From yesterday his stool colours started fading. Today he is passing white stools. Can the medication be the reason or it is it a liver problem?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.
Amdrolite-s drug does not lead to white stools.
Your child has probably got infection in intestine, acute gastroentritis, infestation of intestine with worms.
In my opinion, you should give antibiotic like ofloxacin for three days and also deworming with albendazole should be done.
However, since all drugs are given according to weight of child, I advice you to meet the local doctor for needful.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
Regards
Dr Deepak Patel
