Hi,

The report you mentioned is of stool microscopy, and not that of culture. From microscopy, this seems like amoebic dysentery, which can be treated with drugs like metronidazole or tinidazole. I used to give metronidazole, zinc and a probiotic. Kindly see a pediatrician for the same.Meanwhile, give her frequent sips of fluids like ORS solution after each stools to prevent dehydration. Avoid juices and sugary items, as these may exacerbate loose stools.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
