Is Blackish Stool Normal After Medicines In Children ?
My daughter is 2.5yrs old. She is suffering from loose stools since 19april starting from 4 times, then the next day she had 6, appearance wise the stools were sticky n greenish brown color and semisolid. I started with DALOLAC twice a day with ZINCONIA once a day 5ml. On 21st the frequency increased to 7 times so I started with NETAZOX twice a day 5 ml. The next day she the motions frequency reduced to 3 but the color changed to black still semisolid. Should I get her stool checked or is it normal to have blackish stools after the above medicines. Please advice.

Hi , according to me I think you can wait for another day or two and then get a stool test done. This is under the pretext that the kids day to day activities are normal.
Either way you have to get back to your doctor .
