Loose motion
Hi,
My DS is 4 months. He has loose motion for past 8 days. But he is normal and having good appetite. My relatives told that is was just tummy infection as kids starting mouthing habits and will stop by 2 weeks. I have tried every home remedies like jaathi kaai, kunjee etc. But of no use. The only thing bothers me is the motion, sometimes green in color. Is it normal or should i take him to a doctor. Pls advice.
