YA HER STOOL IS HARD
Ova is part of the life cycle of an microbe like E Coli
It is normal to have ova in the stool
It does not necessarily mean a fulll blown infection
Ova can be from some parasites like pin worm
So usualy doctors prescribe anti worm medicines
when they find ova
IS ANYTHG TO WORRY... VERY URGENT TO MOVE TO DOCTOR
It is not urgent
BCOZ THS IS FIRST TME WE NOTICE IN HER
No need to worryy
As I said pediatrician generally prescribe anti worm medicines once every 6 month
because babies put unclean food and particles in the mouth causng worm infetion
when her first year completed doctor gavr BANDYPLUS
