Hi
Thanks for the query

This age children do pass worms in stool after getting worm infestation but this onion like thing is unexplainable. It might be some thing she have ingested and passed out undigested. still if you are much worried then you should discuss it with her doctor or it would be helpful if you can attach the picture of that thing

Thanks
Regards
