What Causes Thick Mucus In Stool Of An Infant?
Hello my son will soon be 4 months on Sunday. He has had screaming with his bowel movements for days. On Saturday his movement had a tinge of brown in with mucus and in the middle of the night a small movement with thick mucus coating the stool. Is this anything to be concerned about to take him to his pediatrician
