<bot>: Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Your lab result suggest that she is suffering from Amoebic dysentery. As you have already given treatment with Metronidazole for 7 days, wait for a week or two and repeat the test. If the test is positive for EH cyst or vegetative forms repeat the treatment with Metronidazole 30 mg/kg body weight for 7-10 days. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam MD;Disassociate professor of pediatrics
