Hi, occult blood in stools can be positive in infectious causes of diarrhoea. Pus cells again can be seen in infections. Start a course of antibiotic in form of Syrup Oflox-OZ 2.5 ml twice a day. Give syrup Zincolife 2.5 ml once daily for 14 days total. Give enough ORS solution for hydration and continue her usual feeds. Give her Syrup PCM if he has fever 3 ml SOS. COnsult a pediatrician if the condition persists. He might require other tests like stool for ova,cyst ans stool culture sensitivity.
Thanks and regards.
