Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Your lab result suggest that she is suffering from Amoebic dysentery.
As you have alredy 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 purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
