Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
I would have asked for stool sample, send samples to a laboratory for testing. A laboratory uses microscopic identification techniques to check for eggs or tapeworm segments in your feces. Because the eggs and segments are passed irregularly, you have to give two to three samples over a period of time to detect the parasite.
In tissue-invasive infections, your blood is tested for antibodies your body may have produced to fight tapeworm infection. Based on the report, we can decide on the management option.
Presently, I would suggest you to see a physician rather than a dentist, for examination. You can take tablet levocetirizine to address the itching, you can ask about this when you visit physician.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
