Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to the 'Ask A Doctor service'.
I have reviewed your query and below is my advice.

The amebiasis can be recurrent again after the antiamoebic/antibiotic course.

In such a case, the repeat dose of medications is required.

I'd suggest you repeat the Ofloxacin and Ornidazole drug for 10 days.

After that to completely clear infection esp. the Cyst form, Diloxanide furoate can be prescribed for another 10 days.

Follow the below instructions to prevent recurrent infection--

- Avoid excess spicy foods intake for a few days
- Take boiled water/R.O purified mineral water mainly
- Take soft and Bland diet more for a few days
- Avoid heavy fatty foods intake for a few days
- Drink lots of water
- Make a habit of frequent hand washing with antibacterial solutions esp. before and after eating and using the wash-rooms

The online prescription is beyond the scope of the medical forum, you can discuss all these with your doctor and get a prescription of the above drugs.

Hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best regards.
