Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. My stomach has been, sometimes with symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but then it came back again. Please ask, what treatment methods are there for ascariasis?Doctor's answer:
Ascaris lumbricoides, commonly known as roundworm, is one of the most common parasites in the human body. The adult worms reside in the small intestine and can cause ascariasis. Additionally, Toxocara canis (commonly referred to as dog roundworm) is a common intestinal parasite in dogs. Its larvae can migrate within the human body, causing visceral larva migrans. Patients should pay attention to a light diet, avoiding spicy, fried, and greasy foods to prevent exacerbating heat and dampness.
