HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the protozoa infection then the medicine has to be taken for five days but it is all depends upon the clinical condition of patient ideally it has to be given from three to five days, I would suggest to discuss this with the doctor, if the diarrhea is stopped so it is not the indication of eradication of infection hope this information helps.
