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.
I have a daughter who will be 3 in October, and she seems totally healthy except her stool this evening was totally pitch black, and when I dumped it from her potty chair into the toilet, it was like someone had dumped soot instead... her diet is the same, except she ate a ton of strawberries and blueberries this afternoon. Is this something that I should be concerned about?
Hi...this means she is having mucosal bleeds in the gut and it could be a hemorrhagic disease of the newborn. I suggest you take her to the emergency room immediately, even if she is looking and acting normally. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
