What Causes Blood And Mucus Discharge In The Stool Of A Child?
my son is 61/2 months old and june first week he has blood and mucus in his stool treated with cefixime and Saccharomyces spores and controlled with in a day nd now he is having loose stool with stinking smell with greenish ting and cold refusing to eat also. Is it bacterial or viral infection
As per my surgical experience, most probably bacterial infection, though some rota virus also present coincidentally with bacterial condition. Addition of metronidazole will help faster recovery along with current drug basket.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
