Pediatrician, Pulmonology ,  's  Response
Hi...What your kid is having is a dysentery or bacterial infection of the gut. The clear/very light red mucus you have noticed could be blood streaks in his motion. He needs antibiotic therapy and zinc supplements and oral rehydration solution.
I suggest you take him to the pediatrician or the nearest emergency room.
