Why is there white blood cells in the baby's diarrhea?

Patient's question:

All symptoms: Mental state, diet, and sleep are all fine. Originally, bowel movements were once or twice a day and relatively dry. For the past four days, bowel movements have been soft and watery, more than five times.
Onset time and cause: Four days ago.
Treatment history: Used Mimi Ai for three days with little improvement. Today, the doctor said there is indigestion with one to two white blood cells, suggesting adding some Simethicone.
Help needed: What does one to two white blood cells indicate? Is there inflammation? Should medication be taken?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, the routine stool examination of the baby has found one or two white blood cells, indicating mild inflammation. However, the baby's spirits and appetite are good, so the problem is not serious.
Suggestions:
First: Miamio is an intestinal probiotic that can regulate the gastrointestinal environment. However, if you want to stop diarrhea, you should also give the baby Smecta. This combination can help control the baby's diarrhea.
Second: Having one or two white blood cells suggests mild intestinal inflammation. Generally, if the baby's spirits and appetite are good, mild diarrhea is not recommended to be treated with antibiotics, as antibiotics can be harmful to the baby. The combination of Miamio and Smecta usually cures the condition within 5 days.
Wishing the baby healthy growth. I hope my answer is helpful to the baby's health.
