Hello, my baby is 5m and 9 day old today. One of the ped asked us to start fruits. So we gav him banana and den mango. Post mango has green loose motion. It's 15 days now. He is in medicines. Now he does watery green motion once a a day and den 2 or 3 time motion yellow color but not watery. We got stool test done 2 days back. It says mucus present. Occult blood -positive Reaction- acidic Rbc per hpf 1-2 Macrophages 0-1 Epithelial cells 1-2 Pus cells 35-40 Reducing Substance -trace. DOES reducing substance means he has lactose intolerance ? What is pus cell and is it too serious ? I'm worried. We came to India once he was 3m 5days old . So he hasn't taken rotavirus injection. Is it because of this. His 2 dose of shots which was supposed to be given month month end is also pending coz of his loose motions . Please guide me what precautions can I take for baby. Thanks in advance

Hi Doctor, My son is 3 and 1/2 year old..At the age of 2 he has been diagnosed with Eczema, allergic rhinitis, multiple food allergies (which includes milk, egg, wheat, fish, peanut, corn, lentils and all the tree nuts) and lately asthma too..when ever he is accidentally allergic its leading to asthma..Once in every two months he is been suffering from cold and cough also...As a mother Iam finding it very challenging and going through rough days..Its being very tough to satisfy his taste buds, to provide nutrituos diet and at the same time to avoid some of the allergic items from his diet....Recently I found him tolerating lactose free milk without any symptoms though his blood test result shows milk allergy...We are confused on that..To be on safe side we avoided giving him dairy for now...Most challenging part is he is very picky eater if he dont like it he wont eat at all..Can you help on this?? Is there any hope for him to outgrow all theese conditions?If so at what age will he out grow?
