POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. A stool test showing 30-35 pus cells indicates a bacterial infection or inflammation in the digestive tract, which could be causing your baby's loose motions. If the prescribed medications are not effective, consult your pediatrician immediately for a review of the diagnosis and treatment plan. Your doctor might recommend a different antibiotic or further tests to identify the exact pathogen or underlying issue.
In the meantime, ensure your baby stays hydrated by offering plenty of fluids, such as oral rehydration solution (ORS), coconut water, or diluted rice water, to prevent dehydration. You can also offer easily digestible foods like boiled rice, mashed bananas, apple puree, and yogurt, as these are gentle on the stomach and can help restore gut balance. Avoid high-fiber or fatty foods during this time. Probiotics, as advised by your doctor, can help improve gut health. Monitor your baby's symptoms closely, including signs of dehydration (e.g., reduced urination, lethargy, dry mouth) or worsening condition, and seek immediate medical attention if they occur.
