Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

It looks like you might be having some kind of a parasitic infection. This how you should go about it

1. Get a complete blood count to check for eosinophils and total count.
2. In cases this these I usually start my patients on tab mebendazole twice a day for 5 days and check for improvement
3. If the mebendazole does not work then I suggest ultrasound of the affected area and MRI scan of chest and abdomen to see for any active parasites.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
