Greenish Black stools

2017-12-08 07:50:57
Patient underwent colorectal surgery for colon cancer 5 weeks ago. Patient was asked to take Augumentin antibiotic for 5 days for the wound ( external ) to heal where stitches were put. today and tomorrow his stools were greenish black colour. We performed stool test for occult blood and OVA ad CYST -- all these were NEGATIVE. Please advise if this is because of antibiotic ? Should we wait for 1-2 days for the stools to turn normal colour
