What Can Cause Blood Mucus In Stools Of Kids?

Hi my 2 and half year old little girl sometime has trouble going a poo, which is every other month. And I have noticed that she got some bloodly mucus in the middle of her stool which is quite hard and she is in tears when this happens it can last a week or two. I m just wondering if it something I should be worried about. Thank
