Dear Patient,
Seeing a red worm in stool after eating raw vegetables and salads suggests a possible intestinal worm infection. Raw or unwashed vegetables are a common source of parasite eggs. Loose watery motions since one day may be due to intestinal irritation or mild infection.
What you should do
Maintain good hydration with ORS coconut water and plenty of fluids
Eat light diet such as rice curd banana khichdi avoid oily and spicy food
Wash vegetables properly before eating in future
Medicines commonly used
Deworming medicine such as albendazole 400 mg single dose after food often repeated after 2 weeks
For loose motions ORS and probiotics can help
Zinc supplements may reduce duration of diarrhea
When to consult a doctor
Persistent diarrhea more than 2 to 3 days
Fever vomiting or severe abdominal pain
Blood in stool
Weakness or dehydration symptoms
If worms continue to appear after treatment
Most worm infections resolve completely with a single course of deworming medicine and hygiene precautions.
For further guidance you may consult anytime.
