When I checked her diaper there is blood in her stool. Is this normal?she s been taking the prescribed drugs for 2 days?Please help.
Hi, in case of dysentry due to amoebiasis, it may sometimes take 2 weeks to recover fully. I advice you to complete the course of metronidazole and wait for few days. Take care. Regards - Dr Deepak Patel, MD Pediatrics
