What Does The Stool Analysis Indicate?Suggest Remedy

Hello Doc, My one year old baby boy is been suffering irregular bowel movements. my doc advised me to do a stool routine analysis the report is as follows Colour : Yellow Consistency : Semi Loose Pus Cells :2-3 RBC : 1-2 Ova : Not seen Cysts : Not seen Parasites Not seen Stool Reducing Substances -Negative Stool Occult Blood -Positve. Could you please advice me on what further treatment could be done. My son is pretty active n the weight gain is also normal,he is weight about 10.5kg. he is on formula and breast feeding both. I havent introuded to cows milk yet but his diet has skimmed yoghurt is that ok ?? As of now his diet includes oats ,fruits such banana ,apple ,rice,biscuits and rusk. Is there any further test to be done or is there anything i should be avoiding. his sensitve stomach has always been a issue since his birth.he atimes passes mucusy stool too couple of times prior to this test the stool check was done and all the time it was normal/negative. Looking for your advice.

Hi....first of all accept my congratulations for a well grown and nurtured baby. Your baby' diet is perfect and is doing very well regarding his weight.

It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your paediatrician).
