My daughter's potty colour is dark since a few days compared to her earlier ones. She also had fever few days ago, so I thought it was because of medicine. Is it something to be worried?? I am a bit tensed.

A. Black poop in toddlers is not always a sign of illness, but you may want to talk to your doctor if the problem persists. The color usually returns to normal after a few days, but if that does not happen, it is time to see a doctor. Your healthcare provider will confirm if there is really blood in the stool.
