Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
Plenty of pus cells in the stools suggest that the baby has contacted some GIT infection.
But nothing serious,does not require hospitalization. In my opinion baby May give good response with OPD treatment only.
Needs to be given some GIT specific antibiotic preferably after culture sensitivity report.
Hydration to be taken care
Hope the baby will respond soon.
Thanks
