Hi, welcome to HCM.
Your child has bleeding in stools and lab report suggests 20 to 25 pus cells and amoeba cysts, this signifies that your child has probably got amoebic dysentery.
This is not liver abscess, it's an infection of gut.
In my opinion, you should give metronidazole tablet to the child. However, since this is a prescription medicine, i advice you to meet the local doctor.
I hope this will help you.
Take care.
