For the last few days I pass stools 3 to 4 times a day. I suspect I have been infected by Amebiasis. When I go to a physician he normally recommends metronidazole or Tinidazole. I am allergic to both the drugs. The skin on my lips and genitals gets broken when I use the above drugs. Is there not any other drug to treat the condition.
