Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Your baby is suffering from colitis (intestine infection).It may be due to virus or bacteria.
Colitis is indicated by presence of pus cells in stool.There shouldn't be any pus cells,occult blood in stool.
Culture of stool should also be done. Antibiotics may be prescribed to your baby.
Baby should be given adequate fluids.
Absent reducing substance in stool is the normal finding and it means that the baby is digesting and absorbing sugars properly.

Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
