Patient: Hi. My daughter is two years old. For the past few days she is passing stool with blood. Got her stool test done n in the report occult blood is positive, pus cells are 2-4 and red blood cells are 1-2. All other values are nil. She complains of tummy ache n then passes stool which is semi formed n of weird texture. Please advise! Doctor: Thanks for asking I gone through your question, your 2 year old daughter passing stool with blood since few days, she having tummy ache.      The stool with blood should be treated with course of antibiotics.

The blood content of stool start reducing in 2 day of therapy.  The above medicine is not availble without precription so you should visit doctor.     hope i answer your query  have health family
