answer: the most common cause of loose stools at this age is rotavirus. if the motions are mucus like sticky and not watery, it can as well the cough/expectoration passing in stool. if the motions are settled now, nothing to worry. the danger in loose motions is of dehydration. reat about dehydration and its management at www.rehydrate.org
