Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, my name is Chris, I am 42, Obese and I think I have Intestinal Parasites. In fact, I m starting to think that is what is causing my constant need to drink and eat anything liquid or sugar in order to get rid of constant dry throat and mouth. I had parasites when I was about 7 years old but took medicine and thought they were gone. I currently have ALL of the symptoms that I researched online. Can you help?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Exclude diabetes. Consult diatecian and gym expert to seek advice on reduction of weight.
Take albendazole for deworming. It can be repeated. Maintain hygiene and sanitation strictly and be particular about drinking water and cleaning raw vegetables. Go for stool examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash
