Question
If a baby’s stool test shows 2-3 white blood cells, can the baby take ceftriaxone sulphate granules?
Answer
Normal stool should not contain white blood cells, or they may be present only occasionally. An increase in white blood cells may indicate inflammation, such as enteritis or colitis. If eosinophils are increased, it may be related to allergic colitis or parasitic infection. This is a manifestation of inflammation, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be taken, but ceftriaxone sulphate is not recommended for babies; cephalosporin antibiotics can be considered. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health.
