Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of mucus and blood in stools which seems to be due to acute dysentery. It could be due to electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take proper rest. You should have plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should take diet rich in multivitamins. You should do tepid sponging as well. You should give child Ondansetron 0.15mg/kg. Avoid intake of outside hot and spicy food substances. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of your condition whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
