Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of semi solid, mucus filled, frequent stools in a toddler which is due to poor absorption, gastroenteritis and rapid movement through the intestines and all this leads to watery diarrhea. I would suggest you to maintain the hydration of the body by taking plenty of oral fluids. You should take antibiotic such as oflox-oz along with rekool-d empty stomach one hour before meal. You can take Nitazoxanide twice daily to prevent diarrhea. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If your symptoms keeps on persisting visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
