Suggest Remedy For Mucus In Stool And Problem In Eating
My 2.5 year old was recently sick with a virus, we think. She had a temp of 38c for a couple days then developed a rash all over her tummy but seem to be getting better. She had no runny nose or anything like that. Now she has quite a lot of mucus in her stool and is distressed immediatley before going poos. She is also not eating as much and seems very irritable. She first got sick 1 week ago.

Hi .
Thanks for contacting HCM.
You have a kid of 2.5 years who had viral fever with rash now with abdominal pain,unwell,mucinous stools,
Possibly she has an infection of stomach.
Viral infection brings the immunity of a person down and they are more prone for secondary bacterial infection and that should have happened here.
Take her to a paediatrician,get her stools and blood counts examined and give antibiotics with probiotics.
Replenish the child with plenty of oral fluids and things should settle down.
Take care
