Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your baby is suffering from colitis (intestine infection).It may be due to virus or bacteria.
Colitis is indicated by presence of pus cells in stool.There shouldn't be any pus cells in stool.
Culture of stool should also be done. Antibiotics should be prescribed to your baby.
Baby should be given adequate fluids.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
