Question : 6 -8 pus cell in stool

Answered by Dr. Rakesh Madhyastha (25 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Abnormal stool test

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Normally no pus cells should be present in the stool. The presence of pus in stool especially along with symptoms of gut infection signifies intestinal infection.
I recommend treatment with a combination drug like ciprofloxacin with tinidazole for 5 days.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
