Brief Answer:
She should send a stool sample for analysis
Detailed Answer:
Hi Tahzeeb,
What you describe sounds like an intestinal worm. I suggest you see a doctor and have a stool sample checked for parasites. When this is done, you could start treatment with mebendazole, which targets intestinal worms.
Hope this helps.
