My son is 5 months old and recently has taken antibiotics for an ear infection. As soon as he started them he began to have green runny stools. Dr said that it was normal while taking meds but he finished them over a week ago and still has diarrhea. Is this normal?

No….I would take him back to the doctor cause it should have stopped like the day after he stopped taking the infection meds.

Took my 10 month old over a week. The antibiotics usually stay in their systems for 10 days after finished. So, don’t be suprised if it sticks around over a week after being finished.
