Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Ideally you need to get your stool tested for what kind of worms are present. Different worms require different drugs to kill them. Taenia solium infestation responds to Niclosamide, Roundworms to Albendazole, Pinworm to Mebendazole etc. Hence it is imperative that you get tested first. Better consult a Doctor to help you with these problems first.
