I'm not able to gain weight.
I've been trying to gain weight for so long but nothing helps. It has been 5 years since my weight is stuck at 50 kg. After a bit of research from my end I believe that I am infected with parasites (might be a tape worm). I feel tired and hungry every time of the day even after having a proper meal and rectal itching is also a problem. Please confirm it or help me diagnose the problem. Also state any safe medicine I can take. (I have no allergies).
Thankyou

You can safely deworm yourself using a Tablet of Albendazole 400 mg at night after dinner .
But there are many reasons for not gaining weight.
You need to consult with your doctor who will take a detailed history, examine you and then guide you accordingly.
