HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be the intestinal infection may mix type of infection like bacteria and protozoa so in this case I would suggest to try Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day and Tab Doxycycline 100 mg once in day for 10 days, if the symptoms persist then investigation is must for routine stool examination, and blood test hope this information helps.
