Hi i had an ear infection and sinus infection last week. I was taking predinome and sulfemothaxozole or something like that. I was getting better but then I had a bad cough one day and swollen glands etc. then I got a 102 fever in the middle of the night . I went to the dr. And it is not strep but she switched my medication to z-pack. I now have abdominal pain and green stool.. Any ideas ?

Hello,
The most common cause of green stools in adults is due to eating greeny vegetables or due to food dyes.But as you are having abdominal pain too you need to be evaluated.The medications you are taking may also lead to green stools and if that is the cause your doctor will change the drug.Thank you.
