Specializes in Pediatrics

Mucous Only: If your son has this isolated episode of passing mucous with no other symptoms, then I would not pursue it. If he has any abdominal pain, any blood with mucous, or any fever which develops, he should be seen by a pediatrician. Hope this helps. Thank you for using healthtap!
