Baby pooping a lot
My baby is 5 months old & is completely on formula feed as I completely lost my produce after 3 months..a few days back, he got cold, cough and mild fever so his doctor prescribed capex, wikoryl and nasivion s drops for 5 days..and since then only he is passing stools very frequently, i.e 4-5 times a day..and the texture of the stool is seedy and like mucus..he used to pass stool every other day earlier..but now he is pooping a lot..is this a side effect of the medicines?? I am also attaching the image of his stool
