Treatment depends on the severity of infection. Usually, metronidazole is given orally for 10 days, followed by paromomycin or diloxanide.
If vomiting, medications through a vein (intravenously) is recommended. Medicines to stop diarrhea are usually not prescribed because they can make the condition worse.
After treatment, the stool should be rechecked to make sure that the infection has been cleared.
