How is biliary ascariasis treated?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach feels dull pain sometimes with symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital and it got better for a while, but then it started again. How is biliary ascariasis treated?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of biliary ascariasis is primarily implemented through medication to alleviate pain by shaking and expelling the parasites. When necessary, anti-intense pain medications or analgesics can also be taken. If the medication is not effective, surgical treatment can be adopted. Biliary ascariasis is mainly caused by various reasons leading to highly active intestinal parasites, which may cause patients to experience recurrent pain or abnormal absorption, accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and jaundice.
