What Causes Puss Cells In Stool Of An Infant?

Gud day. My baby,3 month old has pus cells 0-2/hpf which is shown on his stool exam. We have noticed he frequently defacates with greenish to yellowish to tannish color. The consistency is soft and slightly loose. Im sory i cant tell how slightly loose a stool could be. But one thing is for sure,his stool isnt runny to the extent that it would leak its way out of the diaper. He had a bowel movement 5x for this day only in small amounts..some in medium amounts. I am afraid of this 0-2pus cellr. What could have been the cause of this?what treatment should be done?need help asap!

Hi, pus cells 0-2 in stools is completely normal finding and you need not worry about any infection. A 3 month old child can pass medium to semisolid stools and in a frequency of 6-8 times a day, even more , without any intestinal bug.Colour of the stool can be greenish to yellowish. At present, your childappears to be completely normal and you dont have to load him with oral medications which will only make his condition worse.
Thanks and regards.
