Question

he isnt complaining of tummy ache or anything and is eating normal

Answer 1

I think you should call the family doctor and ask him.

Answer 2

Yeah, my son has had that when he has the cold!  its horrid isn't it?  If you are concerned, phone NHS 24 for professional advice or reassurance though.  

When I first saw your question, I thought it said "mucus in POOL!  lol!

Answer 3

I would ask your doctor. Mucus in the bowel could be a bit of a intestine infection, like bacteria infection. Most likey nothing serious but have it checked out. Could also be part of a cold he might have. You can have colds without runny nose or suffy nose or even with no  coughing or sneezing. Good Luck!

Answer 4
