What Causes Blood And Mucus In Stools Of A Child?
My seven year old grandchild has had bloody stools with mucus for two days. She is acting just fine, no fever and only complaints of a stomach that relieves as soon as she has a bowel movement. What are the possible problems. Gross as this may sound they have a dog from a shelter that eats his stool and they are working with the vet to correct this. Any connection?

Hi,
She probably has dysentery, caused by poor oral hygiene. It may or may not be from proximity to the dog. She needs antibiotics or antoamoebic treatment, or both, depending on the stool test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Cajetan, Pediatrician
