Specializes in Pediatrics

See your DR.: See your Dr. Mucus and blood in stool may indicate that there is an infection which needs to be addressed or something more serious. A thorough history and exam along with lab tests and imaging can determine what is going on and the best way to treat it.

Stool : You should see a doctor This needs investigation. I don't have any information about the amount of blood . If there is a lot you should go to the ED.

See doctor: Any abnormal bleeding is a cause for concern. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably a GI specialist. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
