Patient's question:
The baby had black, tarry stools after taking cold medicine. Is it gastrointestinal bleeding? What medicine works well?Doctor's answer:
Your baby's condition is caused by the cold medicine, resulting in black stools, which is a normal phenomenon. If there is intestinal bleeding, it would be tarry, loose stools. Therefore, your baby's condition will improve after stopping the cold medicine. Pay attention to giving your baby more water, maintain a light and easily digestible diet, and if coughing occurs, you can take some lung-cleansing and blood-cooling medicine. If the condition worsens, seek medical attention promptly.
