I m worried that she could have amoebiasis or something similar. is it possibel she has it Doctor: Hi,Welcome To Healthcare Magic.I can understand your worry regarding to your child’s health.I have seen number of patients of this type. So, no need to worry for this and I would advise you to go for laboratory investigation of stool R & M. After getting the report, please share it on healthcare magic for proper diagnosis and treatment.You have to give some medicines till you will not go for laboratory investigations such as syrup Zifi (if no allergy), 50 mg, 2.5 ml, twice in a day, at the interval of 12 hours, for 5 days. Also add syrup Metrogyl (if no allergy), 2.5 ml, 3 times in a day, at the interval of 7-8 hours, for 5 days. Start giving maximum liquid to her by adding ORS tetra pack (2 packets daily).  After completion of whole the treatment, if you will not feel better, then go for consultation of pediatrician.After doing all these things, I hope your child will get well sooner and please share your review about my answer on healthcare magic.Take Care,Thank You.From:- Dr. Nupur Shah
