Question
What’s causing my daughter’s black and smelly stool?
Answer
In recent times, every time my daughter uses the bathroom, the smell is so overpowering that it’s hard to breathe. Her stool is not only dark and unpleasant in odor but also looks thick, making it difficult to flush the toilet clean. I often need to use a brush to clean it. What could be wrong with my child? I’ve taken fire-clearing and anti-inflammatory medicine under the doctor’s guidance, but it recurs as soon as I stop taking it. I hope to get help from experienced doctors to solve this problem.
