Hi thanks for contacting health care magic....
According to stool report pus cells present high in amount which is not normal....
Few RBC also present....
So possibilities could be severe enterocolitis or bacterial dysentery like condition....
Here antibiotic needed.
If needed stool culture done ...
Maintain hydration...
You should consult pediatrician or pediatric surgeon for your child's condition.
Take care
