Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] My daughter is 17 months and has eaten barely anything the past 8 days (usually a very good eater) and is sleeping 15-16 hours day.  Two nights she had a fever and also has a runny nose and recently started coughing.  She has also had two almost black poops the last few days.  Any suggestions?
[|AI|]  Your concern of not eating can be due to present infective process when appetite is reduced in all. So also the excessive sleeping is part of tired less from cold and fear. As she has coughing also a chest infection and antibiotic will be needed. I would check Blood RE and X-ray chest if needed and start appropriate antibiotic. By black poops did you mean black potty/stools ? Which could be color of the medication if you are giving any or minor abrasion in the anus that comes as motion is likely to be hard as she is not eating and Chat Doctor. You can discuss with your doctor for guidance. Regards
