Suggest Remedy For Diarrhea
Hi, my 2 year old daughter has been pooping for days now diarrhea. Even when she has gas she'll have some come out and it started off as a brown color, but we took her in 4 days ago and they wanted to do some stool samples. It's still going on and now her color is black liquid like with some blood and she's also been complaining of some stomach pain? we have a follow up appointment in 6 hours, should I just take her to the ER?

Thank for asking and appreciate your concern, symptoms of diarrhea in pediatric age has to be taken seriously because it may turn into medical emergency very soon.
If the symptoms are worse and it is the continues watery diarrhea with black, dark brown, or coffee color then better to see the ER because it could be the case of GI bleeding, if the symptoms are under control then no need to see the ER,
hope this information helps.
