Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Black diarrhea. Possible bleeding or iron therapy. Get a stool examination done
2. Give plenty of fluids.
3. Nutritional diet and family support.
4. Antibiotics treatment depends on stool examination
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
