Hello,

Passing motions throughout the day, runny stools with foul smelling and having slimy consistency is surely indicative of an intestinal infection. It is good that there is no nausea or vomiting. Smell and slime indicates infection as a cause.

I would advise you the following in such a situation:

- Take her to the Pediatrician for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations of stool, urine and blood.
- A course of an appropriate antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotics should help her cure.
- If this is not effective, then the other causes can be thought of.
- Give her plenty of oral fluids, fruit juices to avoid dehydration.
- Give her yogurt, bananas, activated charcoal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
