This might be CMPA ( Cow Milk protein allergy ) also presents with similar complaints. You may try giving other meals and check if the blood in stool still persists

There can be other differentials . Is it fresh blood?? Everytime when he gets blood in stool USG was normal or is it only once? After stopping milk products is the stool better?

E. Coli is a normal bacteria in the intestine.. Few of its strain cause disease. There is no specific strain which has been tested and reported and in absence of diarrhoea it doesn’t require antibiotics
The stool picture you have posted doesn’t show any blood drops
Next Steps
Confirm occult blood in stool if visible blood is not there

The child should be admitted and given IV Antibiotics , if child has partially responded to oral antibiotics since the organism is not completely sensitive to those medications and stool culture is still showing growth..
