What Causes Black And Sticky Stools In Child?
I ve just finished a course of Clindamycin (After augmentin, amoxycillin anf cefaclor) for a dental infection. Im breastfeeding my 15month old who has developed black sticky stools 2/7 and she hasnt really been herself. Should I be concerned or is this a normal side effect from the ABs?

Hi dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Probably child has contacted some stomach infection concurrently.
Stool culture and sensitivity to be done to know the exact cause of the infection. And also the exact drug to be used for the eradication of the infection,
Hope the query is answered.
