Infant Having Continuous Diarrhea, Stools With Blood Trace, Stool Test Showed E.Coli, Positive For Reducing Substance. Treatment Suggestion?

Sir, my daughter is six month old and she had diarrhea problem for about 2 months. Her feed was changed from mother breast to Zerolac ( Lactose free). But, after 2 weeks of feeding, now, she is having a shade of blood in her stool for 5-6 days. It is very minute. We got her stool checked. Her stool test for reducing substance is positive two times in 1 month. There is also a mention about E. Coli (segregated) I in culture report. Now, what should we do?
