Hi welcome to HCM...
Noted your child having mucus and blood in stool...
Here zinc syrup can be taken as 2 to 3 times daily.....
But cause has to be searched for first.
Stool examination done...
It might show entameba eggs or trophozoites ....
For that metronidazole given....
If it shows pus cells then antibiotic needed for bacterial enteritis....
Maintain his hydration....
If no benefit then USG done....
Take care....
