Could It Be A Parasite From The Pork That Is Causing Stomachpain, Bodyaches, Diarrhoea, Itchy Skin?

On new years eve and new years day, I ate pork with my family. I doubt it was undercooked and my other family members haven t been sick like I have. On Jan 2 I had instense headaches. On the 3rd I started having pretty bad stomach pain and constipation. On the 4th I felt okay so I didn t eat until bed time and when I did I had stomach pain. Today I have body aches, stomache pain, diarrhea, itchy skin, and body aches. I m not sure to treat it like the stomach flu or go to the hospital because of a parasite from the pork.

Hi,

I have gone through your query.
You are suffering from acute Gastroenteritis. This may or may not be related to pork. If i were your treating doctor, i should have given you antibiotic course of Norfloxacin and Tinidazole, Tab Mef-spaz for pain, and mutivitamins. Since you are having diarrhea, Oral rehydration Solution is advised to keep your body hydrated. Single dose of Albendazole with ivermectin will remove worms due to partially cooked pork.
If there is vomiting then you have to go to hospital for intravenous treatment.
