Hi Dear
Welcome to the board of Health care magic
In my opinion you should immediately start Albendazole 400 mg. In this situation I would like to give three consecutive days. And repeated every months for some more months till the report of stools comes negative for ova and worms negative repeatedly.In the mean time go for Ultra sound whole abdomen to rule out any biliary invasion of worms.
Hope your query is answered
Thanks
