Question:

Can amoebiasis be treated?

Answer:

Yes, amoebiasis is treatable and usually goes away with the right medicines - but only if you finish the full course.

Treatment Includes

  • Medicines: Metronidazole or tinidazole are commonly given.
  • Hydration: Drinking fluids or oral rehydration solution (ORS) to replace lost water and salts.
  • Proper rest and diet: Avoid spicy/oily food until recovery.

Never stop medicines halfway  -incomplete treatment can cause the parasite to stay in your body.
