HI Thank for asking to HCM Your query is appreciated, I advise you not to worry for what the RBC and Puss cell seen actually it is not the puss cell but it is the WBC and few RBC and WBC in stool is normal one, neither it is the allergic condition what you are suspecting for antibiotic over all it is nothing to worry, once the stool being analyzed and it is okay then no need to worry about this, hope this information and advise helps.
