Parasitic worms
Hello Sir/Madam
I saw there were pinworms in my stool about a month back..it was a recurrence after 3 years
After I saw them I took albendazole single dose but I saw that they were still there,even after a week
I took some home remedies too(carrom seeds) and I do feel the itch sometimes
But i saw that now the pinworms are not visible any more
Should I get a stool test done to confirm the results and get treated as their presence will lead to malnutrition and decreased haemoglobin levels which happened last time
Thanks
