Q.

iron lll hydroxide polymaltose oral solution gave to 5 months baby & he passing red stool it's normal or not

1 Answer

POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months ago

A. If a 5-month-old baby is given iron(III)-hydroxide polymaltose complex oral solution and starts passing red or dark-colored stools, it is generally considered normal. Iron supplements often cause changes in stool color, commonly turning it green, dark brown, or even blackish-red, due to unabsorbed iron being excreted. However, if the stool appears bright red, looks like fresh blood, or is accompanied by symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, or discomfort, you should consult a pediatrician promptly to rule out any underlying issues. Always ensure the correct dosage is being given as per medical advice.
