General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Pus cells and RBCs in a stool exam generally indicate an inflammatory type of diarrhea, most likely a bacterial infection. And the treatment involves proper hydration and supplementation with zinc and probiotics. It is as well important to bring him to a pediatrician for proper evaluation and treatment to prevent dehydration and prolonged disease state. He will as well check whether the antibiotic he is taking right now is adequate or needs to be changed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Daryl Derick B. Dizon, General & Family Physician
