Parents attach great importance to feeding when taking care of their children. In fact, everyone should also pay attention to the baby's bowel movements, which can help understand the child's digestive condition. Some parents find their children defecating, so they are very worried. So, what causes a baby to have a fever and defecate?
If an infant has a fever and black stool, it may be that he or she takes some Chinese medicine, such as antiviral mixture, during the fever, which may lead to black stool. Parents don't need to worry about this situation, as their child's stool can usually return to normal after discontinuing medication.
If a baby eats foods with high iron content, they may also experience symptoms of black stool during fever. Now many parents will give their children iron supplements, such as iron fortified milk powder, Rice noodles, etc. Excessive iron cannot be absorbed and will be excreted through feces, resulting in black stool.
If the baby has not taken any medication and has not eaten iron rich foods, then the symptom of black stool during fever is likely caused by illness. For example, when there is gastrointestinal bleeding, it can cause black stool. At this point, parents should quickly take their children to the hospital and undergo a routine stool examination. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment can be administered.
