Hello,
Your child recently had chest and ear Infections for which she was treated. Now she is heaving black stools. black stools commonly suggest bleeding in stomach.
As you said she is getting up black, sick that might be caused by loss of blood in stool. Your child need medical attention.
She might need I.V. infusions in case of low B.P. and more tests need to be done as she had chest infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shashank Verma
