C-Diff in Toddler - is it back?

Question

Asked for Female, 3 Years

Our nearly 3 year old toddler had c-diff acquired by overuse of antibiotics following a surgery. She had been treated with Flagyl the first time as well as for a recurrence and has been rid of symptoms for approximately 4weeks. Though the symptoms have not returned fully, some mucus in her stool was noted recently. What should be our next steps?
