I Feel Very Weak,low Fever,loss Of Appetite And I Was Suffering From Small Worms. Can I Take Albendazole For Big Worms Also ?

Hi! I am a girl of age 20. In the past I have suffered from small worms (really tiny ones) for which I had taken albendazole tablets. A week back my face suddenly seemed dull and then slight yellow.I also felt very weak and dizzy with lethargy . My whole body ached, especially my legs seemed exhausted even when I didn t do any work at all. Now these days my weakness has reduced and health has improved a bit but I have pain in stomach, sometimes lethargy in legs and low grade fever in daytime. I have low appetite too. Can it be the bigger worms this time?? How do I find it out..please tell me! If my symptoms suggest worms, can I have albendazole tablets?? Any natural things for getting rid of worms?? Thanks a lot for reading my query!

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Good Day
How are your menstrual cycles, do you bleed heavily. You probably are suffering from severe anaemia which is due to decreased red blood cells and haemoglobin in the blood. Do a blood test for this. Regarding worms, you can get your stool tested. You must eat palak and other green leafy vegetables, nuts, which are rich in iron. You should feel much better after this. Kindly get examined by a Physician and also get these tests done, as you may need iron supplements if severe anaemia.
