Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

A color change for 1-2 days without any associated symptoms need not be worried about. If it is persistent or associated with additional symptoms, we can evaluate further. Otherwise, no worries

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
