[|Human|] Hi my son has had mucus in his stool for the past two weeks. The stool seems fine, the mucus is there when I wipe his bum, light brown in colour. This evening he went to move his bowels but didn t, I wiped his bum anyhow and there was mucus with a liitle bit of blood in it. He was sick the last couple of weeks with an upper respiratory viral & conjunctivitis. Could they be connected? Very worried after seeing the blood.
[|AI|]  Hello, As you suspect, it might be related to respiratory infection, causes mucus production. Small kids airways are very small, it takes time to clear completely. Their intestine is also very narrow, so small amounts may be passed repeatedly, for a few days, but be vigilant if he has any abdominal discomfort, fever, pain better visit a pediatrician especially if frank blood noticed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
