Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Though you have mentioned that your son has green mucusy watery stool for 3 weeks you have not mentioned the frequency and whether he is passing urine adequately. It would have been better if you had shared the detailed stool report for me to know about the pus cells, etc. I will not worry about the reducing sugar in the stool which becomes very common during frequency of motion. If your son is well hydrated and not loosing weight then I will overlook the passage of 4-5 motions in 24 hours. I would like to add some probiotics to recondition his intestines.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your son an early recovery.

Regards,
