3 month old baby with elevated wbc in stool, but negative for bacteria. waiting to see gi. what could it be? food issues? something chronic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: it could be nothing if it's only the concern and no other symptoms. repeat the test later to see if it's resolved. the most importantly if the child is clinically well, no temp, feeding and passing stool normally and gaining weight. Best!
