Could my 21-month-old baby's frequent pooping (6 to 7 times a day for the last two days) be a side effect of the Meftal syrup she took for a fever a week ago, even though she is otherwise active?
Since she took Meftal (mefenamic acid) a week ago and the frequent pooping only started two days ago, it is highly unlikely to be a side effect of the medication, as it would have already cleared her system. This mild diarrhea is more likely due to a minor stomach bug or a recent dietary change. Please ensure she stays well-hydrated with plenty of fluids like oral rehydration solutions. If the loose stools continue for more than a few days, or if she develops a fever, vomiting, or signs of dehydration, please consult her pediatrician.
