Hello,
A layer of mucus lines and protects the inside of your large intestine If this layer gets damaged, you'll see a lot more mucus in your stool. There are many reasons that your child have diarrhea with mucus and foul odor.
It may be an inflammatory disease, infection, food intolerance malabsorption. You have to take an appointment with your doctor. Meantime give him lots of fluids to stay hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
