My 4 month baby stool test result shown pus cell 5-10/h.p.f and rbc 1-2/h.p.f.do i need to worry and probiotic can be cure? is that serious condition?

Is baby sick: It depends on why the stool test was done and how the baby is. In general, pus (WBC cells), also known as fecal leukocytes are an indication of infection. Is the baby having diarrhea or bloody stools? If so, a stool culture is usually indicated and what bugs are found determine if antibiotics are needed. Certain bugs dont need treatment. Generally NO, probiotics wont treat infection.

No: need to worry, not a serious condition, an no need for a probiotic. Check again with your doctor who ordered the stools analysis, if your baby is fine otherwise, don't bother, wish you both wellness
