Starting Friday my three year old complaned of tummy ache and then went to the bathroom. She didn t make it to the toilet and her stool ended up on the floor my husband was home and described it as white mucus with some blood in it. Over the weekend she seemed mostly normal, her stools were loose and each time she went she said her tummy hurt. After she went potty she was fine. I didn t notice the bloody ish stools until tonight. Could that be a parasite? She has been playin with our kittens?
Hi...what your kid is having is a bacterial or bacillary dysentery. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. But blood in stools is a definite indication for starting antibiotics. I suggest you consult your pediatrician. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time.
