Hello,
It is my privilege to be able to help you,
I have gone through your history as you are having immuno deficiency and having parasitic infection.
Your doctor has advised the medicines for the parasitic infection but in last 6 months you have become resistant to those drugs.
With your history and symptoms I would suggest you to meet your infectious Diseases specialist for further evaluation. You may require some lab investigation and drug susceptibility testing.
Your infectious Diseases specialist can help you out.
Thank you.
