Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of white stings on the stool and not sure whether it is mucus or what and the stool is floating.
Your Pictures would have helped.
I would advise you in such a situation the following:
Send the sample for tests preferably for 3 consecutive days.
Test of blood and urine
Consult your Doctor and take a course of medicines as per the history and the stool report and it may be metronidazole if there is amoebiasis.
If there is no further problems, complete the course, take some probiotics.
If this is not conclusive, you may need further investigations like colonoscopy and treatment would then be according to the findings.
I find this answer helpful
