Are Stomach Pain And Hard Stools With Sticky Substance Symptoms Of Amoebiasis?
good morning. my son has been suffering for some nagging stomach pains the past 2 days, and each time it occurs, he has the tendency to move out . But his stools are not soft but contain some sticky substance. Does this manifest that he has amoebiasis?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
By what you say, I do not feel that your son is having amoebiasis. The symptoms you are quoting are more towards bacillary dysentery. I suggest that you consult your pediatrician as this might require antibiotic therapy. Antibiotics are prescription medicines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth
