What Causes Mucus In Stools Of A Child?

My 3 year old has had a yellowish mucus in her stool for about 3 days now. She is moving her bowels three times a day too. It s soft and dark, but not liquid. She had temporary diarrhea, but it went away four days ago. Is this related to the diarrhea or should I take her to a pediatrician?

Hi...this looks like she is recovering form diarrhea and if the kid is her usual self and urinating well and active, you need not take her to a pediatrician. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
