Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
Metronidazole is right treatment for E Histolytica. It takes 1-2 weeks for symptoms to settle down, sometimes they may expeirience lactose intolerance, consider avoiding milk for a week.
Consult Physician when you notice following red signs 1. Dry oral mucosa which implies dehdration 2. Absence of tears while crying 3. Blood/mucous in stools 4. Irritability 5. Decreased movements and excessive sleepiness
Do get back to me for further queries
Take Care
