How To Control Bloody Mucus Stool In Kids?
My five year old has had a bloody mucus stool it also had worms in it. I had treated this but was informed by my child that they spat the medication out. my other two children also have watery stools, with no blood or worms. I'm unsure as to what this is. 2 of my other kids also have chicken pox atm. Any idea what's wrong?

many thanks for consultation.
bloody diarrhea and chicken pox are both highly contagious diseases.
Bloody diarrhea is bit serious issue .
this child needs admission in the hospital for the following;
1. intravenous fluids
2.stool culture
3.intraveous antibiotics and other supportive medicine.
if they have worms then needs few arming of all family after the acute problem is over.
other 2 children need rehydration and rehydration with oral electrolytes solution only.
chicken pox is contiguous disease that mean they catch from each other.now they can not get in future because they are immune from it now.
