Dysentry in 11 mo baby
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?
