Hello
Welcome to ask a doctor.
Thank you for the query.
I understand your concern.
Worthwhile taking a course of tinidazole 500 mg twice a day for 7 days and see how you feel.
Also get stool routine and occult blood tested on two different occasions after you complete the course.
Additionally consumption of butter mild and curd will help you too.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.

Apart from what you suggested. Is there any other precautions I need to take in diet . What may be the cause of this amoebic infection. I hope you could also view my stool report.
I was suggested earlier by previous dr to try nutrolin b cap . Should I continue or stop that. ( Took one per day for two days)
Awaiting your reply

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for your query.
Have seen your stool report earlier.
No need on any special diet precaution except avoid eating outside as amoebic infection is usually due to contaminated food and water intake. Can take neutrolin b as it is a probiotic no harm in continuing it.
Best wishes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
i have seen your report
need not worry
cyst form in stool may persist and do not cause any harm / infection.
I have a suggestion to do stool test from another lab (metropolis /ranbaxy / lal path lab) once.
If it again shows cysts then can try a course of dilaxonide furoate twice a day for 7 days (unfortunately of late this medicine is not available in market easily).
If you have no tummy symptoms then can ignore the report (consider it as normal ) also the bacteria positivity in stool is normal phenomenon (commensal bacteria) needing no further intervention.
Best wishes.

Hello dr
I got the stool test done again yesterday at same lab and it still shows occult blood ++ and entamoeba . I have uploaded the third report too . In earlier report it was blood trace.
I have been taking tinidazole 500 with nutrinol b
since last two days passing normal stools with no other discomfort . But I am worried about the presence of same things in yesterday report . Today also I have had normal stools
So pls advise if I need to change medicine or carry on same for a week more.

Hi
sorry for delay in answering the query.
I have a suggestion please do the stool test from another lab (metropolis /ranbaxy / lal path lab) on two different occasions.
ALso worthwhile trying following medicine if available - a course of dilaxonide furoate twice a day for 7 days (unfortunately of late this medicine is not available in market easily).
No need of repeating a course of tinidazole as usually 5 to 7 days course suffices and resistance to treatment is extremely uncommon. And above all dont get worried. May need to do a colonoscopy if stool reports are abnormal in other lab.
Best wishes.
