A member asked:

4 yr old passed bloody mucus from anus is this an emergency?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Any blood from the rectum should involve an examination and evaluation of the stool, a blood count, and an abdominal x-Ray. Once those have been done, I can answer your question. Please go see a pediatrician immediately
