What Could Watery Diarrhea In All Members Of The Family Indicate?
Hi doc, my 2 year old has had loose stools for past week. She mainly had it during her normal poo time. This Tuesday night she three up 2 times and then watery schmuck stools with mucus. Today she pooed about 7times food with mucus and then several just mucus. I had watery diarrhea for a day a fee days after hers started and my husband had had watery diarrhea for several days only after he eats. Wondering if we all have same thing as it doesn t seem ad watery with our daughter.
I reviewed your history. Diarrhoea affecting all the family members at the same time indicate common source of infection. This requires treatment by adequate hydration, antibiotics and antidiarrhoeal drugs. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
