Suggest Treatment For Stomach Aches And Diarrhoea With Mucous Discharge
My 5 year old daughter has had a stomach ache and mild diarrhea today. She has no fever and has been playing and eating normally. However she coughed recently and said she had an.accident. When I checked her, however, her accident was a clear mucusy discharge from her rear. Should i be concerned?

Hi...this seems to be a bacterial or bacillary dysentery. This required antibiotic therapy and zinc supplements and I suggest you see your paediatrician for prescription of appropriate antibiotic dosage. It doesn't need an emergency management, but will need a doctor's prescription.
