thanks for visiting me here,

1. rbc in stools are not normal...and gives a suspicion of bacillary dysentery ,more so here as it is loaded with bacteria...

2.your child needs oral antibiotics like Oral cefixime like taxim -o syrup(100mg/5ml) 2ml twice daily x 5 days,simultaneously send blood for CBC,CRP,blood c/s and stool c/s before starting antibiotics

3.Treatment: Oral taxim-0, ORS 30-40ml appx after every loose stool, Sporolac sachets 1/2-0-1/2 ( morning and night) and ZnD suspension 0.5ml once daily x 2 weeks as a part of regular protocol for diarrhea

watch for signs of dehydration (watch for urine,feeds etc) and danger signs like excessive sleepiness, altered behaviour to go to emergency as and when needed
