Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, it can be amoebic dysentery however stool analysis and microscopy may be needed after consulting your primary care physician.

Meanwhile, if symptoms persist, antiemetics such as dimenhydrinate and antibiotics like metronidazole may be needed. Meanwhile, keep good hydration and salts and water replacement with oral rehydration salts.

Soft diets should be ensured. These symptoms shouldn't be ignored. Tarry stools if persist may need a workup for Marlena or gastrointestinal bleeding.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
