Black or bloody stool

2022-11-28 04:17:52
Hello doctor, 9 year old boy is having frequent bloody stool or black stool with no obvious other synonyms. He doesn't eat any such black coloured food before the episodes. He says he usually feels tired and nothing else. Last time, when he had the same, Dr diagnosed with indigestion and we continue to see the same recently. Please advise
