Hi... By what you quote it seems that your child has dysentry. You need to do a stool routine microscopy test in child and child should be put on antibiotics like oflox 5 ml PO three times a day for 5 days. However, since this is a prescription medicine, i advice you to meet the local doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
