What Causes Thin Stools With Mucus In A Toddler?
This last week my 3 year old son has had a change in stool where it s become lighter (though still brown), thinner, and has mucus along with it. He also seems to be more tired than usual, taking longer naps, and still waking up with red under his eyes. He has not changed his diet, started any kind of school (he has gone to nursery on Sundays for a year and a half) or changed his behavior much that I ve noticed. Should I be worried, or should I assume that this is something that will pass?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
Regards - Dr. Sumanth
