Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. mucus in the stool is very common phenomenon.
it is usually present due to the throat mucus / thick saliva as well as respiratory secretions
which pass on from respiratory tract (parts of nasal cavity , oral cavity and throat) to the gastrointestinal tract by swallowing and then comes out through the anal canal mixed with the stool.
