HI
Well come to HCM
Chances of bacillary dysentery would be very likely, some time this comes around on its own you can wait for this for couple of days during this hydration is very much matter and this need to be corrected if child is dehydrated, if symptoms does not improved the this can be managed with antibiotic, but better to have a pediatric opinion, take care.
