Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your child stool report showing amoeba eggs is suggestive of amoebic dysentery or amoebiasis. For that metronidazole is a drug of choice and now repeat stool showing no eggs suggest improvement. 1 or 2 pus cells or RBC can be seen normally as well.

So don't worry about that. Presence of bacteria might be from contamination. So do a follow-up with your treating doctor by keeping in mind that stool report is not abnormal.

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

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
