Pin worm issue from the past 1 year
I am suffering fro Pin worms from the past 1 year, that too in a regular intervals of 2 months. It started from last February. Feb, April, June, Aug, Oct, and now December. Everytime, I am using a prescription recommended once in my childhood - Albendazole. And I will get relief for 2 months. Again the problem resurfaces and wreak havoc, don't let me sleep or go to washroom-work properly, it will trouble me for a week. Then it will go due to medication. But it will come again after approximately 2 months. What should I do ??

I advise you to start a course of albendazole for all your family members. This parasite has a tendency to stay as asymptomatic carrier in family members. Kindly consult for further advice
