HI. One has to make sure that he is suffering from amoebiasis. Is he having stool with mucus? The treatment is simple - to take tab metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily ( I hope is available over the counter). To drink boiled and cool water. This has nothing to do with the pain in the testes. There will be another reason for this . He may add on antibiotics which will help treat the intestinal and testes problem at the same time say like cefixme or oflaxacin, for which he needs to see a Doctor too as these are prescription medicines. He also gets clinical examination by the Doctor.
