Hi,
The stool examination immediately after medicines is likely to show normal reports. 1-3 pis cells in hpf is normal Fat globular suggest poor digestion. In my view baby needs lactobacillus supplements, digestive enzymes drops now. Baby should be breast fed as far as possible.
Dilution of top feed with boiled water and perfect hygiene of feeding bottle by the feeder is must. Treatment of mother / caring person and her hand cleaning needs improved. All the treatment you be confirmed by her treating doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
