Hi,

These symptoms need not be taken as polio related. Loose stools with mucus and abdominal pain might suggest acute gastroenteritis. If there is no fever or blood in stools, we need not worry much. Your doctor has already given probiotics. You can give her a course of Zinc also (give Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 2 weeks). If this does not help, let us get a stool routine examination done to look for any sign of infection. Also giving her yogurt / curd might help to some extent.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
