Should I Be Worried About A Black, Slimy Stool With Smell Of A Fish In 16 Month Old Child?
I have a 16 month old daughter. She has had 3 BM s today (she usually has 4 a day) the first 2 were normal but the 3rd was black and slimy and smelled like fish. Is this something that I should be concerned about or is this normal? SHould I wait to see what her next BM looks like or take her to the pediatrician?
what did your child eat ? was any new food introduced recently? did the child have any tummy pain or fever or vomiting. if the stool persists collect it in a clean bottle and get it analysed and show it to your doctor
