Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Presence of excessive mucousI stools is likely to be due to inflammatory pathology of the colon causing colitis.
Would suggest you to get stool microscope examination which will rule out protozoal infection as the cause.
Appropriate antibiotic may be needed.
Take care
