No harm in treating

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

There is no harm in treating for tape worm without investigating, because treatment is relatively simple and free of side effects.
I usually prescribe tab albendazole 400 mg 1 tablet after dinner and one more tablet after 2 weeks.

From the symptoms you are facing gastritis is also a possibility. I suggest you to take tab omperazole 40 mg once a day on an empty stomach for 5 days

I hope I was of help, if you have any future queries please get back to me
