Hello,
Mucus in stool shows he is passing mucus through throat into digestive tract. You did not mention his age.
ORS (Oral rehydration solution) is good. Continue syrup Zincat 1 teaspoonful (tsf) once a day for 10 days. Syrup Domel is better than Gravinate.
Improve hygienic condition, hand washing frequently, add yogurt and banana in his diet and see in throat for tonsils.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
