Brief Answer:
A gastrointestinal infection is present

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The raised pus cell count (not normal) indicates a bacterial infection. Although this is likely to be a self limiting condition, treatment with antibiotics like ofloxacin twice daily can be given. Also give ORS (oral rehydration solution) to replenish the lost water and salts.

Please be patient. It may take a few days for recovery.
