Hi,

Presence of mucus is due to inflammation from diarrhea your baby has experienced recently.

Fat globules are referring to problems with indigestion which are common following diarrhea.

I'd advise getting her food intolerance test and food allergy testings to rule out malabsorption and treat it adequately.

Continue taking probiotics and prebiotics to help ease digestion. Give plenty of fluids especially plain water with oral rehydration salts. Keep good hygiene when preparing his food.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
