Why My Son Has More Bowel Movements?

Hi hope u can help the past few weeks my son had been going to the toilet more often then normal to empty his bowels. Anyway he said his bum was itchy so thought he might have worms so two weeks ago gave him a tablet for this. His stopped complaining about the itching but continued to poo more often. Every morning around 530am he goes and up to four five times until he goes to bed at 7pm. Anyway today he called to to help clean him up after going a toilet I noticed clear fluid around his bum but thought maybe this was because he had used a baby wipe to clean him self ten mins later he went again but there was no stool in the loo and clear fluid around his bum again (this time he had not attempted to clean him self) should I be worried about this fluid?? ( I will add that this morning he had his 2nd worming tablet to be sure all was gone as recommended)

Hello,

If this is watery diarrhea since days and frequency is more than 5 per day then it could be infection may be protozoa or bacteria or both so looking to this it is better to treat this condition with Ciprofloxacin with Ornidazole. In pediatric age, it is better to have an opinion from pediatrician if symptoms not improved.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
