Hi,
The problem with your son suggests an intestinal infection which involves blood & mucus containing scanty/frequent stools. As a 15 years old boy soils his cloths, it seems to be with pain & uncontrolled motion.
Please get his stools examined for routine & microscopic study.It will reveal causative organism. mostly it would be amoebic/bacterial infection.
consult a physician/gastroenterologist for specific medicines( Antibiotics/anti amoebics, anti spasmodic drugs are given as per need) .
Give him light nutritious food, plenty of boiled water,use of ORS will help him.
A course of lactobasillus helps normalization of GI tract.
Thanks.
