Hi! Welcome to HealthcareMagic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.
First of all, it is sad to know what you had been experiencing lately. Based on the history you have shared, it needs further confirmation, like stool routine examination and microscopy to look for ovum or eggs of the parasites in the GUT as well as careful skin examination to look for any such signs.
Ultrasound abdomen may also be helpful alongwith routine blood work up to look for differential white cells counts to look for any raised eosinophil and if any such turns out to be positive, a detailed review by an infectious diseases specialist and long term use of anthelmintic medications like albanzazole or mebendazole may be needed.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
