What Could Be The Reason For Having Vomiting, Foul Smell And A Bowel Movement With Lot Of Mucus?

My son Vomited several Times this morning. He was feeling ill so he goes to rest. As he is sleeping getting some rest, I check on him every now & then. The last time I came in, it was a foul smell like a dead smell. I'm looking around wondering what May have cause this Horrible smell. I check my son to if he had passed gas or an accident. He says no. But as I get closer to him the smell gets even worse. I find that he had a bowl movement. But it was clear with a lot of mucous, I have never seen this in any of all 3 of my children, any kid I know. Please let me know,Very curious to know if I should seek some medical care.

Thank you

Hi,

Vomiting could have been caused by possible stomach bug (viral gastroenteritis). The foul smell is due to vomiting.

Get him plenty of water, otc o.r.s. If he is also having diarrhea, should take probiotics and tasectan.

If no improvement within the 3 days or he will have high fever, should consult physician for further evaluation.

Wish fast recovery to your son!
