Since Wednesday he is going for daycare for 2 hours each day. And he is not eating properly. His voice also feels little hard.Wat has happened to my son. please suggest wat to do
Brief Answer:
Digestive tract infection is the most probable reason.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Most probable reason of such symptoms is gastrointestinal infection caused by viruses. Due to such infection digestive tract do not work property so he may have loose stools, frequent stool, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain.
I suggest you to start giving him probiotic and increase liquids (like a tea). If its mild infection, symptoms should disappear in a day. If not, than you should consult pediatrician.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

thanks for the explanation. Forgot to mention that his stools were too smelly. Also could you please explain the cause for such infection. Does he got it from day care any possibility? also he had some mosquito kind of bite yesterday on his face , chest and hip.
Brief Answer:
Smelly stool is a sign of infection.
Detailed Answer:
Smelly stool just confirms that this is an infection.
Such infection is usually from a contact with other people. It can be transmitted with hands, foods or even toys. That is why it is important to wash hands especially when he comes back from the daycare.
Mosquito bite has nothing to do with his symptoms.

checked with our pediatrician he told its stomach infection and if there is any presence of mucous or blood in stool he told that my son needs to be admitted. Does it mean that it's a serious infection. what does that mean
Brief Answer:
Usually such infection is not serious.
Detailed Answer:
Such infection is typical condition for many kids in his age. Its not serious as long as he is well hydrated. Mucus or blood in stool simply means that the infection is rather bacterial so antibiotics must be given. But still, if he is under good care, its not serious.
