Consistency: Semi Solid
Blood(RBC s): NOT SEEN
Pus Cells: 1-2/HPF
Mucus: Absent
Trophozoites: Not Seen
Ova: Not Seen
Cysts: Not Seen

Is it something wrong with my baby? I am worried. Please comment.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The stool examination is almost normal.
As reducing sugars are present(benedicts 1+) lactose containing foods like milk to be avoided,
You may use Zerolac or Soya bean milk in place of mother's milk or formula milk.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
