The child is four months old and has had black stools for half a month. They went to the pet hospital and were told it's due to bloating, but they've been taking medicine without any effect. What could be the reason? So far, it's been more than half a month. At first, there was phlegm in the throat and coughing, but it was treated with medicine and has since improved, leaving only the black stools. Treatment history and effectiveness: No specific care has been given. Help needed: Just want to know what's going on.Doctor's answer:
The baby is four months old, and the black stool has lasted for half a month. It is suspected to be related to medication, but gastrointestinal bleeding is not ruled out for the time being. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine stool examination and occult blood test to check for any abnormalities. If there are no abnormalities, it is not a major issue. Taking digestive aid medications such as Jian Pai San and Fu B Liquid may help. This is the advice for the question "The child is four months old and has black stool for half a month." I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
