Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Infant. Constant Diarrhea With Black Specs, Light Brown Stools, Fatigue, Sensitive To Fall, Pouting A Lot. Thoughts?
Hi, I am babysitting a 14 month old baby. Ever since I had him 5-6 months now he has had no normal stools and its always diarrhea with black specks. It is usually light brown with a yellow color to it. I have been trying to tell the mother to get him checked, maybe he is allergic to something or has something going on in the stomach. He always looks tired and not comfortable. He is pouting alot and he seems to be sensitive to falling even when he doesn't get hurt. I have googled these symptoms quite a bit but I cant get a straight answer because he is not my child and I cant just take him to the doctor. Please and thank you for your time and it would be great to here back from you.
