Question: my daughter is now 1year 8months,from past 2days mucus was there in motion and today I found white color small worm in it. plz suggest me what will I do?
Brief Answer:
Can you please upload an image of this worm for review?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about what your daughter is going through. For now, I will like to see a picture of this worm that you found in stool. This will be guiding towards making the diagnosis and proposing a treatment plan. If there is no image, I will recommend a stool exam at your earliest convenience to look for possible parasites in stool and treat. There is no emergency here. As long as your daughter can drink well and eat well, don't panic to go to the ER as this will not lead to any special difference in outcome.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Brief Answer:
Don't give medicine for now!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Mucus in stool when children have cold are simply cough that they have swallowed as most children cannot cough out but rather swallow. Be calm and give no medications at this time.
Keep me update. The stool exam is no emergency. Do it at your earliest convenience.
