General Surgeon, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel's Response

Hello,

The blood test does not reveal any major abnormalities as these are nearly normal values, nothing to worry or panic. Soft stools are related to possible intestine infection, which requires
- Plenty of liquids intake
-Dietary measures to be followed
-Intake of GI antibiotic with metronidazole, probiotics with lactobacillus.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
