Hi...please do not worry...this is completely normal stool examination findings. Most commonly when the kid is having diarrhea this investigation is asked for but it doesnt serve any purpose. Even your kid has got diarrhea, unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
