Headache, Stomach Pain, MRI Done Eosinophil 5, Monocytes 6. Reglan, Toradol, Solumedrol, Benadryl Taken. Suspecting Parasites.
I have a 14 year old daughter that has had a non stop headache for 5 months now. She has had her labs done repeatedly and a contrast mri. She is non responsive to over the counter pain medication. All comes labs out clear except that eosinophil comes as a 5 and monocytes (absolute) at .6. Also, her alk phos isoenzymes; liver fraction 11, and bone fraction 89. She went to the ER for a headache cocktail consisting of reglan, toradol, solumedrol, and benadryl. It brought the headache down to a 1 for about a week and then the headache got worse again. She is tired a lot, can't think very much, and is getting regular stomach aches. We are suspecting parasites but don't know how to proceed.

hello dear ,
thank for your query at health care magic,
it seen your child is suffering from severe migrane attacks, when your child is having attack try one cup of coffee that might help from severe headaches.
as parasites are concerned is there any history of passing worms in stools ?
if so you can try albendazole 400 mg one dose will be enough.
thank you.
