Call your pediatrician and get an appointment or go to an emergency room, as persistent diarrhea in a 6yo can be caused by an infectious process and should be treated.

Keep your son well hydrated, offer a probiotic and watch for signs of vomiting,fever and pain. Mucus and blood in the stool may indicate a bacterial infection.
