Poops often
My son is 5.6 years old. Since 5 days he poops often like 5-7 times. First day he poops around 10 times which is hard with watery stool. Second day I gave him econorm one dose then his poop was normal only. But whatever he eats after some time he wants to poop. Usually he poops one or twice per day. Now he poops around 5-7 times. No loose motion. Is this normal or need to take medicine?
