Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. All symptoms appear to be secondary to malnutrition.
2. Improvement in nutrition is essential through diet rich in fish, egg, pulses, green leafy vegetables, etc. Additionally potassium supplements could be useful.
3. Get a complete hemogram.Also serum protein level evaluation necessary.
4. In stool, it could be mucus plug. However, get a stool examination for ova and cysts.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
