Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your son is suffering from colitis (intestine infection).It may be due to rota virus.
This is indicated by presence of green stool colour,pus cells,occult blood in stool.
No specific antiviral therapy is available. Medicines are only prescribed to relieve the symptoms. It is important to maintain adequate fluid and easily digested food intake.
He should be given adequate fluids.He should be served clean water and hygienic food.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
