What Causes Yellow Stools With Mucus And Foul Odor In A 2 Year Old?
Hello doctor, my 2 1/2 yr. old daughter has had fishy, yellow, mucus like diarrhea today. She hasn t had a fever and she is acting completely fine other than the fact that she s upset that she keeps having accidents in her underwear. I do recall however for the past few days she was telling me her stomach hurt, tooth hurt, arm, and back I don t know if they are related to any of her symptoms today. FYI she does eat A lot fresh fruit and chez. Any thoughts or should I just bring a stool sample into ped. Thank you for your time. Kelly

Hi....It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. 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.
I suggest you use ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment.
