Helo, thank you for posting your query here. Your daughter seems to be having a side effect of the antibiotic and antiparasite medication (o2h) she took.
I suggest you give her Lansoprazole 15mg once a day before food for 7 days to help with the gastritis. For vomiting she can take Ondansetron 2 mg half an hour before food if she feels nauseous.
She had only E. hitolytica cysts in the stool which ddo not have to be treated. only the trophozoite form is infective and needs treatment. Stop the o2h if you are still using it
