Can Antibiotic For Ear Infection Cause Globules In Stool?
My grandson is 11 months old and today has had a large number of what look like clear yellowish teardrop shaped jelly capsules in his stools which when punctured contain a clear liquid. He started antibiotic yesterday for a throat and ear infection. What could cause these globules and could they be related to his antibiotics
