Dysentry in 11 mo baby

2019-01-16 17:14:51
My baby had high grade fever for 2 days last week.. after fever reduced she started passing loose stools .. for past 4 days she cries while passing stool every time . Her stool is more of mucus and sometimes with bloody mucus . She passes stool 5-6 times a day . Now she doesn't have fever or vomiting but just this bloody mucus diarrhea. Is it dysentery? should I go to hospital or wait for it to resolve?

It seems your kid has dysentery. It requires antibiotics to resolve. Please get her checked by your local pediatrician.

Meanwhile keep her well hydrated by giving ORS (oral rehydration solution), water .
