Hi...amoeba infection in a kid of this age is extremely unlikely. The stool report si normal. Nothing to worry about it.
It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
