Deworming.

2018-06-17 07:07:45
I recently ate a lot of mangoes. Even upto 8 a day at times. Today I noticed 7-8 small white rice grain size worms in a mango and I had already eaten 80 percent of it. I am worried that I have worms in my stomach. I do not have any symptoms like vomiting or loose motions or headache or stomach pain. But I an sure I ate a heavily wormed fruit. Please advise.

The worms in your mango shall not survive inside you. That is pretty sure. However, deworming yourself is a good idea anyway. You can take Tab Albend 400mg once only at night(1 tablet only). For further instructions contact your physician. Thank you.
