What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements With Blood And Mucus In Infants?
My 16 month old daughter has been having frequent bowel movements over the last few weeks. The last 2/3 days she has also had mucus. Today I noticed blood as well. She has had no other symptoms of being ill. What could be the cause? Should I take her to the ER?
