Initial tests indicated 50-60 Puss cell on this our doctor suggested Taxim-o and then nor metrogyl after the problem continued. Situation improved for few days, however, it has resurfaced again with same 9-10 times a day. Now our doctor has suggested to go stool and urine culture.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
What you are describing is diarrhoea, not constipation. I think the treatment seems okay when it was begun, but now, as he is relapsing, you should agree at least for a stool routine and culture. Because that will help to identify the germs that are causing the diarrhoea and also pinpoint which antibiotic is likely to work best.
