General & Family Physician 's  Response
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

This test result has got very hopeful details to make you calm and satisfied. Your baby has got a little infection of the gastrointestinal tract, most probably, its viral one. Good thing is that there is no amoeba, no cysts, no worms, no parasites. If there comes in the parasites, they invade the intestines and causes blood loss too. But there is nothing like that.


Illness like this remains there for almost 7-10days or so. It is mostly self limiting and needs no special medications. But you have to keep an eye on your baby's diapers. Diapers must be properly wet and if you feel any signs of dehydration like very weak and slow responses from baby, dry diapers (no to little urine) then take the baby to emergency room without any delay.

Feed the baby with regular intervals, and frequently. Not too much at a single time. In case of fever you may give infant tylenol after calling the front desk of baby's pediatrician office.

If ever you feel nothing is working, rush to emergency room for urgent care.


Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime. In the start of your question write my name, and I will get back to you in no time. If satisfied, please click you found it helpful.

Have a wonderful time ahead.


Best Regards!
