Brief Answer:
Stool report suggests bacterial infection (dysentery)
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for follow up
I have seen the report.Presence of Red blood cells,mucus,pus cells and bacteria in stool indicates bacterial infection of intestine (dysentery).
In most of the cases it improves with oral antibiotic. Fluroquinolone group of antibiotic like ofloxacin is good for such infection.
I would suggest you to continue with the same.
Give plenty of fluids with zinc.Observe for worsening of symptoms,persistence of loose stool or presence of XXXXXXX blood in stool.If you notice any consult your pediatrician.
Wishing for your child's speedy recovery.
