Will It Be Safe To Take Cotrimoxazole For Loose Bowel Movements?

My daughters lab result says RBC (0-1), Pus Cells (1-3), Fats (Few), Bacteria (Many), Parasites (E. Histolytica Cyst: 0-1/hpf. She has loose bowel movement and does not want to eat because she is complaining of full stomach and stomach ache. She is 5 years old. Can she be given Cotrimoxazole? I remember having given her that before when she had the same symptoms under our doctor's advice. Our doctor is not around this time. Please help...
