Frequency of potty
Recently 10 days before my son had fever and stomach infection for which he was prescribed taxim antibiotics, O2 syrup, rhamos gg duo and zinc gluconate and ors.
All medications are over but the frequency of poop has gone up to 6 to 7 times a day now, consistency is normal, doctor has prescribed tummy soft for 3 weeks. Does all the nutrition goes away if he does frequent poop, any stool test to be done, how can the frequency go the previous of 1 or 2 bowel movements a day?
