What Causes Dark Stools Post Treatment For Pneumonia?
Hi Dr. Rynne. I just want to know the possible cause of my father s black stool without foul smell. He is already 84 years old and is on iron supplement. I am a bit worried because this kind of stool started after he was discharged from the hospital even before the iron supplement. He was hospitalized due to pneumonia..
