Suggest Treatment For Liver Flukes

my friends' daughter was recently diagnosed as having liver flukes. they have made their way to her stomach and intestines, and she has begun throwing up these flukes. no one in our area knows really what to do and the 'strongest' medication that is supposedly available hasn't helped. she has no insurance and no gastroenterologist is willing to treat her without it. we have done research and one in 2.7 million americans is suffering from this parasite infestation. what do we do?

dear friend
you have not mentioned the age of the patient.
there ate anti parasitic drugs available which are effective in case of parasitic infestation, but none of them would generally be available OTC.

please take help of govt assisted medical schemes for proper treatment.
