Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be a viral infection and that may not need any specific treatment neither anything should be tried for that. Mucus contained in stool could be due to an infection itself if the symptoms continue then child may need pediatric consultation and work-up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
