A member asked:
Is pinky red mucus in stool caused by pink cough syrup?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red color may be: related to dyes in cough syrup. Mucus is a lubricant in our GI tract – so a small amounts needn't be a concern. However if there are large amounts of mucus especially if associated with blood or abdominal pain– that warrants evaluation.
