Hi,
Mucus & blood in stools indicates irritation of intestinal mucosa due to inflammation (infection, inflammation, allergies, malignancy).
The cause needs to be evaluated by needful investigations followed by specific treatment. Please consult a Gastroenterologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
