Green poop - is it bcoz of iron syrup

2024-02-27 14:56:28
Hello Doctor, My son's age is 2 years and 12 days. As per pediatrician suggestion using softening gold Iron syrup - 5 ml - daily 1 time. Started using this syrup from 11 days. From 3 to 4 days he's poop is in green color. Is it need to worry? Because my husband's saying that if poop is in green color he may have jaundice. Please suggest. Thank you.
