Normet syrup
Hi doctor,
My son is 4 years 8 months old. He is pooping 5 times in a single day for the past 3 days. That too only in the evening time. Poop is not a loose motion but some kind of free motion. He is fine and active but not eating properly. Doctor gave normet syrup. In that syrup bottle a notice says it has serious side effects. What to do now? Please help. Whether i can give normet for this type of motion problem? Any side effects?
