Brief Answer:
Pus cells in stool sample is a common finding - doesn't require antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
Hi..... presence of pus cells in stool routine sample is a common finding. It does not mean that it is a bacterial infection and it does not require the use of antibiotics at all.

It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. 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.

Motion can be green in colour and vomiting is the one which should not be green in colour.

There is no need to use antibiotics like AMIKACIN unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea.

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).

Regarding diet - Avoid fruit juices as they might aggravate diarrhea. You can give zinc supplements & ORS apart from normal vegetarian porridges & soups.
