General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

You seem to be suffering from amoebic dysentery. The dose of metronidazole is 500 mg three times daily for 5-7 days.
Also I would recommend intake of ORS for 1-3 days depending on your condition.
If your problem persists then I would recommend you consult your local ER for correction of fluid and electrolyte levels.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
