Is Reddish Brown Stools Normal, In A Toddler, After Taking Cefdinir?

My 3 1/2 year old daughter has been taking cefdinir since Friday for a sinus infection. Her stools have been reddish brown since Monday. Should I be concerned? She only has a bowel movement once a day. She does not have diarrhea. She is not complaining. She does not have a fever.
