Hi as per your query,passing brownish colored stools which are sticky indicates usually bacterial infection - Dysentery, if associated with abdominal pain.Give him soft diet mostly rice based by avoiding milk based products.If stools are continuing further, show your kid to a child specialist for starting antimicrobials. Please give ORS fluids to prevent dehydration
