Hello doctor! I was infected with parasites of dogs and cats, I went to the doctor and took medicine, I don't know if it was because I took too much medicine, but I had a stomachache after taking it for 7 days. Since more than 1 month now, the stomach has not been cured, and I have to stop taking anti-parasitic drugs, but it is too much itching, fatigue, and pressure. Ask the doctor, is it okay to have an itchy stomach and fatigue after taking anti-parasitic drugs? And is there a way to cure the parasites without taking it orally? Looking forward to your advice, thank you doctor!

Hello, the doctor would like to answer the question: "Is it okay to have an itchy stomach and fatigue after taking anti-parasitic drugs? ” as follows:
You should re-examine at the parasite clinic, especially ask about what kind of drugs they give, what are the main and side effects. Because, if in the medicine you take there is an worm drug as you suspect, then in addition to the problem of drug allergy, there is also the problem of side effects of the drug, and when the parasites are killed, they also release substances from proteins of worms or other parasites, causing allergies to those foreign proteins.
You can go to the nearest medical facility or the Hospital of Vinmec Health System for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
