Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have intestinal worms causing itching in the anus. I tried Mebendazole 500 mg and also Albendazole 400 mg for three days, but nothing worked.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
After viewing your query, I would like to add: Firstly, you need to mention the symptoms you are having. Have you undergone a stool examination? If not, I would highly suggest that. It is very important to rule out any local causes for the feeling of itch.
To be specific, there are a number of other causes that could lead to the same symptom of itch. Consulting a doctor in person and getting the area checked is important to find out any trauma or infection in the area. For relief from your present symptom, there is a method called a sitz bath.
Take a liter of warm water, add two teaspoons of salt, and sit in it for 15 minutes twice a day. Kindly follow the above steps.
Thank you and take care.
