Hi, I have an 18 month old little girl and she has been very irritable for about a week now and has loose green poop... its not quite diarrhea but it is looser that what is normal for her. I thought it might have been her teeth but pain relief medicines and remedies we have tried dont seem to help. What could be going on with her? and should i be concerned?

I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
