Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been told my stool sample has blastocysts after having bad diarrea for 3 days. The doctors here are saying it will go away probably...but its been 4 days now. The net seems to have differing stories about the type of medicines and which ones to take...please advise.

What Do Blastocysts In Stool Sample Indicate?
Hi, I understand your concern. 1. The very first thing is to determine what caused severe diarrhea through fecal examination and culture. 2. If only blastocystis was found, then, a combination of metronidazole with sulphometoxazole/trimethoprim is advised as therapy. Please note that blastocystis is commonly found in healthy people apart those having diarrhea. 3. Increase fluids intake, keep good hygienic measures, 4. Take tasectan / pepto bismol to stop diarrhea 5. take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora 6. Take oral rehydration salts to replace lost electrolytes. Wish fast recovery! Dr.Albana
