Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the stool analysis findings, it states that your little daughter has infective diarrhoea. It is most commonly caused primarily due to viral infection, with mild secondary bacterial infection.
What medications you have listed out to be administered is right. Kindly give them as prescribed. Take care to keep her hydrated by giving good quantity of water frequently.
Her symptoms should subside in a couple of days.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
