Hi. Thanks for your query in HCM. I am Dr. Aliem and I am pleased to answer your query.


The symptoms that you have mentioned are typical of worm infestation. It may occur at any age, though very common in children. Effective deworming drugs are available. Some drugs need only a single dose. Please consult your physician for drugs & dosage.

It is advisable to treat all those staying with you, especially children, all at the same time. Periodic deworming is also highly advisable, preferably every 6 months.



Hope this helps. Feel free to send further queries if any. I will be glad to answer your query. If my answer is helpful, please do rate it.
