Can ameobiosis be cured.how?

  • Answer:

    Amebiasis can be cured. It is caused by a bug called entameba hystolitica. A parasite which is colonizes very well in the intestine and hard to get rid of. But has a high chances of becoming chronic(usually it is) because people dont take the right treatment. The treatment is antimicrobials and symptomatic treatment. Metronidazole is the best drug to use as it is most effective(dont self medicate). Should take it exactly as the doctor prescribes for maximum effectiveness. Dont stop taking it as soon as you feel better..as the bug has not yet left your body. Go to a doctor...first confirm that what you have is amebiasis -- stool exam. Then take the drug - if it is amebiasis. The bug has to be found in the stool. Metronidazole has lots of side effects and many people cant take the drug due to that. Stop treatment after the bug stops appearing in the stool (not before).
