A member asked:

Still having amebiasis symptoms (abdominal pain) after treatment with tinidazole and paromomycin. is this just inflammation from the months of illness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go back to doctor: You should be seen and re-examined and have stool specimens and possibly imaging studies. The abdominal pain may or may not be in any way related to the amoebiasis, but you need to be certain. Good luck.
