Hello People with an active infection can take medications to kill the worms in the blood. These medications stop the spread of the illness to others, but they do not completely kill off all the parasites. Treatment for elephantiasis includes: antiparasitic drugs, such as diethylcarbamazine (DEC), mectizan, and albendazole (Albenza) using good hygiene to clean the affected areas elevating the affected areas caring for wounds in the affected areas exercising based on a doctor’s directions surgery in extreme cases, which may include reconstructive surgery for the affected areas or surgery to remove affected lymphatic tissue Treatment may also include emotional and psychological support. Take care .

Dear Prasannakumar Kindly do the following: 1. Change the undergarments daily and wash it with good detergent & fresh water. 2. Clip the nails and wash hands before cooking, while eating etc. If you have of nail biting, it should be avoided completely. Albendazole dosage is 400 mg at night for adult. Repeat the dosage after 14 days if necessary.

Dear Ms. lybrate-user pin worm has reinfection tendencies especially if the kid has a habit to play in mud / ground. You may give another dose and then please maintain hygiene. The infection usually is also from anus to mouth. This happens when the kid specially at night has irritation of the biting of the worms around the anal verge and unknowingly scratches the area. This transfers the eggs directly to mouth leading to reinfection. So, you trim her nails and ask her to wash hands before eating food. You can also wash her undergarments in good detergents and dry it under the sun properly. Another trick is to just rub coconut oil around the anal verge at night so that the worms don't get a grip and will not hang on that area for irritation and laying the eggs. For any further advice, please do not hesitate to call me or come for a consultation. Have a nice day!

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Irritation of the rectum from diarrhea or constipation, a small hemorrhoid, or an anal fissure can cause a small amount of bright red blood on the surface of the stool or on the toilet paper. Hemorrhoids and anal fissures usually occur after straining during a bowel movement because of constipation. You should not use anything without doctor's advice as it may be harmful. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

The medications used for the treatment of pinworm are either mebendazole, pyrantel pamoate, or albendazole. Any of these drugs are given in one dose initially, and then another single dose of the same drug two weeks later. It is better all family members take treatment and you take again treatment.

I am so sorry to hear about it md asif. It must have been difficult for you the eosinophils can be raised due to a variety of conditions (from a very simple cause like allergy, to something very devastating like a cancer) other conditions like a some autoimmune disease or parasite infection can also cause it. So I believe reaching the root cause for your increased eosinophils count is more important. For that we need to have a good history and examination for you. You can book an appointment via Lybrate or can call me at +mobile. For the time being take albendazole 400 mg - one tablet today and one tablet after 2 weeks.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Hives (urticaria) are red bumps or welts that appear on the body. The condition is called acute urticaria if it lasts for no more than six weeks, and chronic urticaria if it persists beyond six weeks. Acute urticaria is most commonly caused by exposure to an allergen or by an infection. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
