Brief Answer:
looks like gastritis
Detailed Answer:
Hi Zis,
Welcome again to HealthcareMagic.
Pain in upper abdomen, which increses on moving left and with history of black stools points towards gastritis.
I would suggest you try proton pump inhibitor tablet like pantaprazole or omeprazole on empty stomach. Start with twice daily for two weeks then you may reduce to once daily in the morning. I will consider other causes if PPI doesn't work.
Continue your full course of antibiotics.
And avoid tea, coffee, soda drinks, and spicy food as they will increase the gastritis.
Hope i have been helpful.
Regards,
Dr. Ashish Verma

Brief Answer:
its mostly amebiasis only
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Still black stools means bleeding is still there.
And excessive mucous in stools points towards dysentery (maybe amoebic as the pain is in right upper abdomen, also as you doctor said).
So i guess that this may not be cartilage pain, it may be recurrent amebiasis.
You i my opinion you need a stool test for it.
For the pain you can take any painkiller like NSAIDs.
Continue your amebiasis medicines. By the way what are you taking?
