Reason For Continuous Diarrhea For A Child?

Hi, My Niece is 3yrs old has had diarrhea for about two months, doctor said nothing is wrong with her, but she gets really bad pains about every five minuets, she cry's and crosses her legs every time she gets the sharp pains, stopped giving her dairy products thinking she might be lactose, but the diarrhea has not stopped, gave her children's Imodium but doesn't seem to be working.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Your history suggests that your niece is suffering from Amoebic colitis.
Get the stool examined for Amoebic cysts or vegetative forms microscopically.
If positive try Metronidazole consulting your doctor.
You may use Cyclopam syrup for relief of pain temporarily.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
