Hello
I have gone through your concerns.
If i were your treating physician i would have suggested to replenish your childs salt and electrolyte defeciecies due to diarrhea.give him intravenous fluids and keep him nothing by mouth and observe him for three days..

Then i would have suggested albendazole or mebendazole 100mg for 2 weeks to kill that parasites.

For the bug in the bile duct i would have suggested to do endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) to remove ascaries.

In my opinion you should meet a gastroenterologist.

Thanks.
Hope the answer is helpful
