#asktheexpert Dear madam, my daughter is getting a tooth. she is passing through loose motion greeny in colour. this will happen every new tooth process or it just once.

A. Teething alone won't cause diarrhea. A child could have looser stools while teething, as sore gums could encourage them to drink or nurse more, increasing fluid intake. Parents should take it seriously, however, if a child is having diarrhea throughout the day.
