Is The Mucus Discharge Related To The Coughing?
Hello, We have a three year old daughter. She's had a persistent cough and congestion the last two days. This morning she woke up to go to the bathroom and said she had to go "poo poo". My wife took her in the bathroom and she had a clear, mucus discharge in her underwear. She complained of a little stomach pain afterwards. Her cough has triggered her to gag twice and vomit. She had a regular BM yesterday and no diarrhea. Could the mucus discharge be related to the coughing?

Hello. I just read through your question.
What you describe is very common in this age group. The mucous is typically swallowed and is ultimately seen in the bowel movements.
If you notice the symptoms worsening over the next 3-4 days, or a fever develops, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
