Hello there,
As the stool test showed pus cells, please follow it up with a stool culture. Once the sensitivity pattern is ready, appropriate antibiotics can be started for the child.
It may take 4 - 5 days before your child starts feeling better.
In order to assess his state, monitor for any episode of fever, abdominal pain or tenderness or any onset of diarrhea or vomiting. this may indicate worsening of symptoms.
In the meantime ensure a good fluid intake for your child.
Take care.
