Hello,

Let me tell you that your daughter is having amoebic dysentery with added bacterial infection. You did not mention the age of your daughter. If I presume she is more than 14 years old then a combination of norfloxacin and tinidazole such as Norflox-TZ twice daily for 5 days will certainly help. Also, keep her well hydrated. Please consult a nearby doctor if condition remains same or worsen.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
