Netromycin is frequently used in young children and is generally tolerated well. Since it has been started, the course needs to be completed. The side effects could be effects on the ears and the kidneys. But these are infrequently seen on short term course like that of 3 days.
E.coli is a part of our normal gastrointestinal bacterial flora and if stool of any individual is cultured, E.coli or certain organisms are definite to be found. It does not mean infection.
