Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi...as per the stool report it is some infection fungal hypae are suggestive of fungal infection causing chronic diarrhea. Along with this report if stool culture would have been done, it would have been better. The child has already received antibiotics and there is no response. In such cases we generally start antibiotics or antifungals after doing culture so that we know about the nature of ongoing infection. Also more fluid intake and oral intake is advised so that there is no dehydration.
