Many things can be causing your symptoms, including amebiasis and other parasitic infections. You could also be having a viral or bacterial gastroenteritis. Your symptoms are consistent with a variety of gastrointestinal infections. The only way to find out exactly what the cause is, is to see a doctor and have the diarrhea tested for amoebas and other types of infections. The treatments for these different conditions vary, so it is important to find the correct diagnosis before you treat it. There are specific antibiotics for bacterial infection, and different medications for the different parasites that may be present. Viral infections are managed symptomatically. So if this is persisting, get it checked and find out what the best treatment is for your condition. Hope this helps.
