Stool problems in child i babysit for?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stool...: Children can have many types of stool issues. Color can vary but white and red are worrisome. Constipation is commin and kids should receive daily fiber and be well hydrated. Have you spoken to the child's parents about it? Hope they do well.
