Hi.. Antibiotics are not essential in the treatment of diarrhoea.. It is indicated only in infective diarrhoea and the stool reports are not suggestive of infection.. Hence you may avoid it... Fat globules may be present due to the malabsorptiom of the fats consumed. Do not worry. It would settle down.. Evaluation would be needed if it persists..
