Hello,

You seem to be suffering from intestinal worm infestation.
You may take albendazole 400mg once daily at night for 5 days.
Along with it take tablet Ivermectin 6 mg once.
They are both deworming agents. These are prescription based medications so please be advised to meet a local physician to obtain them.
