Hi,

Passing of stool in pediatric age group (3 to 4 times) is normal one and it may not needs any treatment, antibiotic should always be avoided because it is being given in state of infection (Bacteria ). It should be proved and then it can be given. Here in your case the passing of stool may not be due to infection but it could be due to diet given and the mucus might due to that only. At the most, Lyophilized Lactobacillus sachets can be tried twice in day. Take care for hydration, else it is nothing to worry.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
