Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
You are suffering from Traveler's diarrhea (TD) caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).You are also having protozoal infection like amebiasis, common co-infection in tropics.Mere presence of candida buds in stool may not mean an infection. A complete course (7-10 days) of suitable antibiotic e.g. quinoline group of drug such as oflaxacin/norfloxacin with aminoglycoside e.g. Inj amikacin for E. coli.and metronidazole/tinidazole for amebiasis will help. Since candida buds are also seen in stool ,you may undergo serological test for HIV infection.
