What Causes My Son S Recurring Stomach Ache With Blood And Mucus In Stools?
my 4 1/2 yr old son has had stomach cramps intermittently all week, no fever, vomiting, etc. Had some loose stools, not real diarrhea. Today he had several bowel movements that were loose with lots of pink tinged brownish mucus, what could this mean? he is acting fine except gets some on and off cramps when he has to have a bowel movement.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

Causes of recurring stomach ache and blood and mucus in stool are stomach infection, gastritis, outside food or water, unhygienic food or water, colitis. You can give him syrup cefixime, syrup, sinarest, syrup mefenamic acid as per his weight.
