Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I read your query and understand your concern. For cystic echinococcosis, the 28-day course may be repeated after 14 days without treatment to a total of 3 treatment cycles. In your case, I think you don't need further assistance.

Take care. Hope my answer was helpful,
if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help you.

Best regards,
