Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Diarrhoea in this age group is usually viral in origin...it doesn't require any antibiotics. It is usually self limiting and requires utmost zinc supplements and ORS. Bacterial in stool examination is normal. You mentioned about amoeba...I would like to get a clarification if it is reported as cysts or trophozoites..as cysts do not warrant any medication or antihelminthics as they are commonly called. Even if there is diarrhoea if the urine output is normal and there is no blood in the motion..you need not worry. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome.
