2 to 4 pus cells in stools is a normal finding not to worry.It has been studied that finding of less than 5 pus cells on microscope slide can be found in normal healthy children .however pus cells more than 10 is usually affected with infection. and this amount of shedding is normal and may not decrease by antibiotics. so nothing to worry.
