I understand your concern that you might end up having neurocysticercosis which is a a brain infestation of the worm but it is very unlikely to happen since we have deworming medications which are very effective if taken early
Please don't waste any further time and consult me once at the earliest I would like to ask you a few more questions before prescribing you the medications
