Before considering how to get rid of parasites in the body, it would be good to conduct tests to confirm the presence of violators and identify their type. After all, any treatment can have side effects, which means that treatment should be targeted, not pointless.
Types of parasites
The most common parasites found in humans are:
- roundworms (roundworms, pinworms);
- flatworms (tapeworms, tapeworms, echinococci);
- protozoa (amoeba, lamblia, chlamydia, Trichomonas, toxoplasmosis);
- mushrooms;
- bacteria.
The most common worms (parasitic worms) found in humans are pinworms and roundworms. Most often, children suffer from enterobiosis (a disease caused by the presence of pinworms in the body) and infection with roundworm, due to the fact that the eggs of these parasites enter the body mainly through dirty hands. In the presence of pinworms or roundworms in one family member, as a rule, all members of the household become infected.
Giardia is the most common protozoan. They also enter the body as a result of poor hand hygiene.
Symptoms of parasite infestation
The most obvious symptoms of human infection with parasitic organisms:
- constipation or diarrhea, flatulence;
- muscle and joint pain;
- allergic reactions, skin rashes, acne or eczema;
- obesity or excessive weight loss;
- sleep disturbance, chronic fatigue;
- a sharp decrease in immunity.
How to get rid of parasites
Medication treatment
In medicine, there are a large number of drugs aimed at removing various parasites from the human body. The most famous among them and often used are the following drugs for parasites in the human body:
- medicines for roundworms;
- tapeworm drugs;
- tablets for flatworms.
Any drug for parasites in the human body is targeted to a specific type of parasitic organisms and can be prescribed by a specialist only after performing the necessary tests to identify a specific type of parasite. In addition, some medicines to treat severe infections are only taken in a hospital under the supervision of a doctor.
All drugs aimed at cleansing the body of parasites act mainly on their adults, until the eggs are killed with the help of such pills. Therefore, as a rule, the course of taking such drugs should be repeated a few weeks after the first dose. The dosage and method of administration are strictly prescribed by the doctor and have significant differences for adults and children (in addition, a number of drugs are not allowed in children).
Antiparasitic drugs are very effective, but they have a major drawback - they are toxic and have many side effects. Therefore, they can only be prescribed to adults and children by a doctor.
Side Effects
The main side effects of parasite pills include:
- nausea and vomiting;
- painful sensations in the abdomen;
- headache, dizziness, confusion;
- impaired coordination of movements;
- impaired liver and kidney function, renal failure;
- tingling or trembling of the limbs;
- rapid fatigue;
- convulsions;
- sleep disturbance;
- skin dermatitis.
Each drug has its own contraindications, which can not be ignored. The doctor must take into account the general condition of the patient before prescribing this or that drug.
Medical treatment of parasites involves complexity, ie a person can not limit himself to taking antiparasitic drugs, because with them it is necessary to take drugs aimed at protecting the liver, improving bile secretion, cleansing the intestines and strengtheningof immunity. In addition, you will need antihistamines and drugs that reduce the toxic effects.
