Hi Doctor, My 2 yr old baby girl has this problem of mucusy and frequent stools every once in a while. It looks like diarrhea but not very loose stools. There is mucus in stools with a need to poo every 10 min. She is very thin with 10 kg weight at 2 years of age. Please suggest whether it is IBS? Is there any medication available at this age? Regards.
Welcome to the ChatDoctorIn my opinion your child seems to be suffering from infection of the gut mostly likely an intestinal amoebas. I would recommend you to take the following measures to treat her:1. Start her on Spy. Metronidazole at 30-50 mg/kg/day and complete the course of 7 days.2. Keep her well HY Chat Doctor.
