Child Has Dark Stool Stains In Underwear

My child has had dark stool stains in her underwear for a couple months. Now she has loose yellow stool that just comes out and she says she cant help it or hold it. Should she be seen? Or does this sound like a virus. It has a bad odor and has been like this for 4 days now. She will be 8 in April.

Hi dear
If she is 8 years old and not able to hold bowel, we need to evaluate for any underlying cause.
Kindly see a pediatrician.
Take care.Thank you.
