What To Do If Secnidazole (Flagentyl) Does Not Help To Relieve Bloating, Stomach Cramps Due To Amoebiasis?

the past 5 days, i have amoebiasis and yesterday i took secnidazole flagentyl. i felt better for several hours, but earlier this morning ive been experiencing bloating and stomach cramps, also poo-ed 3 times, after eating (and stool is weird). how long will it really take before i get better again? during the 5 days, i would feel better for several hrs (will stop poo-ing) but then it would come back after i eat.

Well come to HCM
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, let me inform you that it is the protozoa infection forget about the particular species, if the given medicine is not working then I would suggest to try Tab Metronidazole 600 mg twice in day for five days, you need to be patience it may takes some time for cure, if fails to bring the result then stool need to be sent for culture sensitivity test, just give some time to medicine for working and for eradicating infection hope this information helps.
