Blackish Watery Stools, Abdominal Pain, Tiredness. Suggestions?
Hello Sir/Madam,
My daughter is 22 months old. Since, yesterday evening she is having loose stools which seemed to be normal to us but today morning again she passed loose watery stool 4 times since morning which were bit blackish in colour and froth sort of, she is also reporting some abdominal pain (might be cramps) since late noon and after that she is passing stool. I think she is getting her Molars as well. Till late evening she was quite alert and active but now seems to be bit tired and slept without food.
Now, I am thinking of giving her some gripe water or Bifilac powder (as the 2 options available at the moment). Could you please suggest accordingly over the same.
Thanking you,
Regards,
Anurag
