Brief Answer:
Sounds like hunger pains. Increase the meal frequency.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.
Your description is typical of hunger pains, very commonly seen in growing children.
Please increase the frequency of meals, you can give smaller but frequent meals, it will help.
That said, presence of pus cells indicates some amount of infection, presence of fat globules is not conclusive.
You would need to get a stool culture done to isolate the causative bacteria.
Kindly discuss with her doctor proceed further.
Best regards
