What Severe Nausea And Headache Be Due To Amoebic Liver Abscess?

Hi, recently I was affected by amoebiasis along with blood in the stool and my doctor prescribed me Ornof, Bestozyme and 3 doses of Zentel. After that, blood in the stool has stopped, however, I am having pain on the right side of stomach, right chest and lower abdomen. Also, I am having severe nausea and headache. Could this be amoebic liver abscess or any other complication due to amoebiasis?

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.....

Noted you had amebic dysentery and given correct treatment for it.....
As dysentery leads to ulcer in colon , so right side pain can be there ....If Colitis is there by ameba then also pain can occur....

As the pain is on right side rule out amebic secondary liver abscess ....
USG abdomen useful for it.....

Complete the course of antibiotic.....
Soft and bland diet taken....
Excess spicy foods avoided....
Fried food less.
Fruit juice more.....
Small meal taken with frequent interval...

If still condition worsen even after completion of antibiotic course then consult physician for further examination and accordingly investigation....

Take care.....
