Brief Answer:
WORM INFESTATION POSSIBLE

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

Stool for routine examination plus ova and parasite should be done. Worm infestation is possible. If found then mebendazole can be advised as treatment based on the lab findings in consult with your doctor.

Let me know if you have any

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
