Brief Answer:
Antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Thanks for your query.
Read the history and understood the problem.

To recapitulate: few days- mild pain - firm and dark brown , sweat smelling stools with clear / yellowish mucus- frequency up to 4 per day - in a female person of 30 years.
It is better to be concerned as this is not normal.

All the symptoms and the history is indicative of a mild intestinal infection.
I would advise you to get stool test done.
Get started on an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic in an appropriate dose under Doctor's prescription for a duration of 5 days.

I hope this should cure you of your problem.
If there is no complete resolution after 5 days, further tests may be needed.

I hope this answer helps you to have a proper line of management.

Wishing you a complete recovery.
