Fever, abdominal distension, and black stool - what could be the cause?

Patient's question:

On May 20th, I had bloating, diarrhea with black color and blood streaks, and a fever.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be gastrointestinal bleeding. Generally, bleeding of 50ml or more can cause black stools. It is recommended to undergo an endoscopy (gastroscopy or colonoscopy) to confirm the diagnosis before starting symptomatic treatment. There are many factors that can cause pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
