What Causes Loose Stools With Mucus And Abdomen Pain In A 3 Year Old?
My 3 year old son had 2 loose bowel movements around noon today. Since 3:30 PM, he has had 5 or 6 toots that contain a mostly clear mucous, small in amount (less than teaspoon amount.) Any insight? He said his tummy hurt a little earlier this afternoon (around noon) and has eaten normally today.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Looks like infective diarrhea and stool microscopic examination will confirm.
Probiotics will help
Feed with double boiled rice with curd or buttermilk.
Antibitic if needed may be given in consultation with your doctor.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose

Take care
