What Is The Treatment For Amoebic Dysentery?

My son had abdominal pain for 3 weeks, and the doctors still not sure what cause the pain. The pain is in the left side of the stomach and also going to the back side. He also got purpura on his leg, not sure if this is related. . He got Nexium , Buscopan. Then the doctor diagnose he got Amuba Dysentry and he got Flagyl for medication. But after a week took Flagyl, still in pain. Now in the hospital, the doctors still could not diagnose what the disease. Please help... Thanks

Hi.
Flagyl is a wonder drug for amoebic dysentery. Even the first dose will show the results and you say - one week course has been completed and no complete relief...
This indicates for your/us for further investigations like stool tests, blood tests- including normal routine and platelet count, bleeding time, clotting time , prothrombine time and most important colonoscopy / CT scan of abdomen.

This will find the reason to guide your Doctor further for a proper treatment.
