Does Antibiotics And Inhalers Cause Black Stool?

Hi, my 3 year old son has passed a black stool. It isn't fowl smelling or diarrhoea like, he has been on antibiotics last week and also an inhaler. Could these be the cause? He is fine and well in himself now and not complaining on any stomach problems
