Is It Safe To Take Reese's Pin Worm Medicine Without Any Doctor's Consultation?

default
Posted on Tue, 14 Jun 2016
Question: Several weeks ago I got bit by something in my sleep and suddenly all my blood vessels were dilating extremely to the point of pain every night when it got dark. I went to several medical people and they all decided it was in my head. I took things in my own hands and took several double doses of Reese's pinworm otc medicine when gave me some relief but not a cure. Whatever this is it bites me from within my body and I have small hemorrhagic areas where it bites.

Brief Answer:
Please upload pictures of the area where bitten

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I believe what you say. Ok lets start from the areas where were you bitten. If there is an evidence of biting, please picture it and upload the photograph here.

If you keep taking Mebendazole (reese's pin worm medicine) you will be nauseated, sleepless and start to have adverse effects if there is no pin worm infection. So refrain from taking it.

I will respond when you upload photographs.
