My 2 year old son has had mucous mixed in with his solid and semi-solid stools for the last 3 days. extremely foul odor! what could this be?

GI infection: Foul smelling stools with mucus usually means a gastrointestinal infection. It can be caused by bacteria, virus, or parasites. Best to bring this to his pediatrician/family doc's attention.
