[|Human|] My 3 yr old has had diharrea fro 13 days, the first 8 days he was going anywhere from 10-12 times a day. And the last 5 days have not been as frequent but has a mucus look to it. Should i be worried? Took him to ped doctor and they say it is a virus. Not sure if i should do stool sample and bring it to a lab?

I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
