Suggest Treatment For Pinworm

I think I have parasites. Ongoing problems for years and having done my own research am convinced I have pin worm and some sort of flukes. Am taking cloves, Blck walnut tincture and wormwood. Will this be strong enough to kill it or should I take an Albendazole as well?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
I can understand your feeling of having parasites like pin worms and sort of flukes, taking cloves, black walnut tincture and wormwood.
Nice to know that you have had research and already taking the Ayurvedic or say natural products.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Get the stool tested for three consecutive days so that you get a better diagnosis.
Ans if positive you have to take One Albendazole on empty stomach nor and repeat the dosage after 15 days.
Repeat the stool test after 10 day, also check the stool daily for the worms.
Also needed is curative treatment in the form of paring the nails, washing hands with soap and water every time you play, do gardening, visit washroom.
Also needed is treatment of all the family members as there is more chances of recurrence if the family members are not treated.
All the vegetables and fruits must be washed thoroughly before made into use.
Avoid outside foods and beverages.
