Dysentery in 2 years old- how to cure?
-
Hello, my 2 years old son with no past medical history is suffering from fever and 2 days of bloody diarrhea. Stool cultures were sent to the laboratory. Doctor told that he has got dysentery. We are really very worried. I have no clue how it happened and how to cure this problem. Please help with your suggestions.

@srijit Bacillary and amoebic dysentery are both highly infectious and can be passed on if the poo (faeces) of an infected person gets into another person's mouth. This can happen if someone with the infection does not wash their hands after going to the toilet and then touches food, surfaces or another person. If your symptoms are severe or persistent, a physician may prescribe a short course of antibiotics. If you have very severe dysentery, you may need treatment in hospital for a few days.
