Thank you for question. Your baby is suffering from dysentriae. As on stool report mucus & pus cells are present. As you informed that frequency of passing stool on 3rd day reduced from 1st day. Your baby will require antibiotics as per sensitivity report as you mentioned any one which is sensitive. At first have to see the level of assessment of dehydration. If your baby is eager to drink fluids or water then he is in moderate dehydration. So you have to correct her dehydration by giving ors or electral. Amount to be given 825 ml prepared ors or electral. One large packet of ors or electral mixed with 1 litre of first boiled & then cooled water. From this 1 litre of prepared 1 litre of ors or electral 825 ml have to give within 4 hrs & after that you have to give ors frequently. You may give syrup cefixime (100 mg per 5 ml) 3 ml 12 hrly for 5 days continue. Along with you can give syears zinc 5 ml once in a day for 14 days. Along with you can give probiotics (syrup bifilac) 2.5 ml 12 hourly for 5 days. Continue nimbu pain or shikanjawi or coconut water or salty water (prepare 1 tsp sugar, holding salt between thumb & index finger mixing with 1 steel glass of water). Always consult if baby condition deteriorates or wosening of dehydration.

It's better to get injection amikacin. Give semisolid things like curd and banana.

Hi lybrate-user, now child passing stool 4to6 times and started antibiotic as per culture report so no need to worry. Give zinc syp 2.5 ml two times 14 days. Give banana, pomegranate, apple so stool consistency improved. Give ors or fresh lemon juice. Undigestion take 7 to 10 days so if cchild is playful then no need to worry.

It needs treatment. Ors must be given to avoid dehydration.

Use cefixime syrup. With probiotics. The frequency seems to have reduced now. He should improve.
