Can Aldinir Syrup Cause Red Stool In Children ?
My son - 8 months old was advised to take ALDINIR (CEFDINIR Oral Suspension) for 5 days - dosage twice a day... Today he passed stools and it was Red/Maroon in color. Unable to reach the doctor. Is it due to Aldinir that the stool color appears red/maroon? Kindly advise.

Hello,
Aldinir or other syrups can cause a change in stool color because of the certain coloring agents contained in the syrup.
You can wait for spontaneous recovery and if abnormal color persists even after stopping the syrup, we have to rule out possible causes like gastroenteritis and indigestion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
