Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Amoeba cyst positive means your son has amoebiasis. Even if he is asymptomatic, he needs metronidazole for 10 days. look for pain in abdomen, blood in stools .Maintain hygiene,wash your hands to prevent the spread of the infection. Repeat stool microscopy after 10 days. See if cysts have disappeared.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
