Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, An abdominal pain with cramps may not be necessarily due to infection. Is there associated diarrhea, vomiting, etc.? If yes then these symptoms can be due to an intestinal infection. The treatment for amoebas is metronidazole. Ciplox is for bacterial infection. It is advisable to consult your doctor before starting any medication.In the meanwhile you can take a painkiller and anti-spasmodic- dicyclomine for the cramps. Take light food and avoid fatty and spicy foods. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
