Hello shreya, May i know how you took Albendazole? Timing between doses is what makes the treatment effective
Correct way: Dose: 400 mg (one tablet) once ā usually after food. Repeat the same dose after 2 weeks (to kill any worms that hatched from remaining eggs).
The itching can persist for a few days after taking the medicine because worms and their eggs may still be present
But If your fever is high (ā„38°C / 100.4°F) or you feel weak, dizzy, or have abdominal pain,please see a doctor in person soon for examination and possibly a stool test.
Thank you
Hello Shreya Finding a tiny white worm from the anus along with fever, fatigue, and anal itching suggests you may have a parasitic infection (like pinworm/enterobiasis) along with a possible vaginal infection. This is not usually life-threatening, but it requires proper treatment to clear both infections. You should consult your gynecologist and a general physician or gastroenterologist immediately so they can confirm the type of worm, prescribe anti-parasitic medication, and continue treatment for the vaginal infection once your culture results are available. Meanwhile, maintain strict hygiene: wash hands, keep nails short, wash bedding and clothes, and avoid scratching the anal area.
Thank you
