Brief Answer:
stool examination needed.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.
If there is blood in the stool, you need to do stool examination, stool culture and typhidot test.
It will detect blood in the stool, also culture report will tell us about the causative organism.
So after culture and stool routine report we can think of antibiotics.
Till then you can give probiotics and oral rehydration solution.
MMR vaccine will not cause such a problem, it is due to some infection in gut. Please upload the ultrasound reports and other reports, so that I am better able to help you.
Hope I helped you.

Brief Answer:
These are normal reports
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the follow up.
As far as the reports are concerned they all are normal.
It may take 7 to 10 days to get the complete recovery if its viral.
And as you said the baby is active and blood in the stool is reduced, I will advise you to wait for culture report to come.
Till then you can continue with the medication given by the doctor.
Hope I helped you.

Brief Answer:
Wait till thursday
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for follow up.
I think if the baby is doing well except blood in the stool, you can wait till thursday.
Most of the time we confuse red substance in the stool with blood, so I will advise you to do stool examination for occult blood along with routine and microscopy.
If you have already done that please upload the reports.
If your baby still not getting the response then food allergy also need to be excluded.
Polyp and fissures also should be ruled out.
Hope I helped you.
