Can The Coloured Stuff Be Blood In Child When Sick?
my daughter (17 weeks old) is taking flucloxacillin 4 x a day 2.5ml each time. She's taken it for about 1.5 days. She was a little sick earlier and we spotted some brown coloured stuff in the sick. Could this be blood? If not what is it and what do you recommend?

Hi....I just read through your question. As the kid is on antibiotic it could be blood or a coloring substance in the medicines he's taking. But for us to be sure, we need to subject the stool sample for microscopic examination in a laboratory.
But if the kid us otherwise active, you need not worry.
