Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Goodday! I have a checkup today the results are: Urine test: RBC 0-2, Pus Cells 0-2 Stool test: RBC 1-3, Pus Cells 8-10 The doctor prescribe me metronidazole 500mg/3times a day in 7 days also because of diarrhea. Is it the medicine right for me? Because im always afraid to take an antibiotic.
Hello dear I understand your concern Your urine report is completely normal But presence of the blood and pus cell in the stool suggests dysentery. Treatment is antibiotic and proper hydration. Continue metronidazole for 7 days. Along with this take following advises: Capsule sporolac Drink plenty of lukewarm water and ORS solution. Take proper rest. Take soft diet like banana, boiled rice with added salt and lime, toast and applesauce. Hope this may help you
