Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but it started again. What are the treatment methods for ascariasis?Doctor's answer:
Helminthiasis refers to the disease caused by the blood-sucking of helminths in the human intestinal tract or other organs. It is also one of the most common parasitic diseases among school-aged children. The methods for treating helminthiasis are primarily based on anthelmintic drug therapy, and surgery or endoscopic treatment may be chosen if necessary. Commonly used anthelmintic drugs include albendazole, levamisole, etc. These two types of anthelmintic drugs are highly effective and have few side effects. Medication should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning, and during the course of treatment, it is important to drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating food, and consume less greasy food. Maintain good hygiene habits. Pay attention to dietary hygiene and wash hands before meals and after defecation.
