[|Human|] Hi my son is 2 years and 8 months old and i noticed mucus in his stool...i am worried because since few days he was suffering with loose motions and fever...but now fever and loose motions have stopped but i can see mucus in his stool? what could be the reason and what the remedy? pls advice as i am very much worried?
[|AI|]  Hi.... I understand your concern. Initially it should have started as viral diarrhea. Mucoid stool is normal in viral diarrhea. Nothing to worry about it. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. Regards -
