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 fine for a while, but then it started again. If I suspect I have ascariasis, how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
If you suspect you have worms, you need to go to the hospital to get a stool test to check if there are any worm eggs in your stool. If the stool test shows worm eggs, it can confirm the presence of parasites. If you don't have time for a thorough examination, you can also consider taking a deworming medication directly. For adolescents or children, it is recommended to deworm once or twice a year, and taking deworming medication a couple of times does not affect their health.
