Question
The child has been crying frequently lately and has noticed that the stool color is unusually dark and thin. Seeking medical advice.
Answer
Black, loose stools in children could be a symptom of enteritis and it is recommended to seek medical examination immediately for diagnosis and treatment. Parents should closely monitor the child and assist in their recovery. If diagnosed with a digestive system disease, follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and pay attention to personal hygiene. The child’s diet should be well-balanced, avoiding irritant or cold foods.
