Dysentery is diarrhoea with blood and mucus, usually from an invasive gut infection, with cramps and fever.
It is not the same as watery viral diarrhoea. We focus on hydration first, then the right antimicrobial when the picture is clear — not a leftover tablet from last year.

Small frequent stools with strain and fever.
Cramps, tenesmus and a child who looks more sick than the stool count suggests.
Blood in stool does not cancel the need for rehydration.
Warm leftovers, street ice and unclean water are frequent sources.
Hydration, tummy softness and whether the child is passing urine.
Used when we must identify the organism or the child is not settling.
If an antibiotic is started, the full course protects the next child in the house too.
Separate towels and handwash after every nappy change.
We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.
Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.
A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.
Same-day care for blood in stool, high fever, a stiff tummy, or a baby who is dry and drowsy.
