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
