Question
Is it normal for a 2-month-old baby’s stool to have 5-8 white blood cells?
Answer
Finding 5-8 white blood cells in a baby’s stool could indicate enteritis. It usually requires antibiotic treatment, and cefixime is suggested, along with the use of Simethicone. Meanwhile, the mother should be cautious with her diet, avoiding cold and hard-to-digest foods. Without antibiotics, enteritis may not improve. It’s recommended to follow medical instructions for treatment.
