Worms can be treated with a variety of methods and tools. The type of parasite as well as the personal tolerance of a particular drug should be considered here.
Fund selection criteria
In order for treatment against worms to be effective, complex action is required. First, the body is prepared by absorbing sorbents. Activated carbon tablets are prescribed to remove toxins. A medicine that acts on the gallbladder can also help, increasing bile production, which helps cleanse the worms.
The treatment of helminthiasis and the choice of antiparasitic agents depend on the results obtained at the time of diagnosis. The type of helminth is a decisive factor in the choice of therapeutic drug.
In adults, the chemical components that remove worms are divided by structure:
- Derivatives of tetrahydropyrimidine.
- Derivatives of benzimidazole.
- Derivatives of imidazothiazole.
The classification according to the method for exposure to helminth samples is as follows:
- Paralysis of the parasite's muscles.
- Blocking the enzyme system of the parasite.
Depending on the effect on different classes of worms, the drugs can be divided into:
- antinematode;
- against trematodosis;
- anticestotic;
- Broad-spectrum drugs can be used to treat several classes of worms in adult patients.
Types of drugs
If worms are found during a medical examination, one begins to worry about the question: how to get rid of helminths? Medicine offers many treatment options. Tablets in the form of bases or drops may be used. Enemas and all kinds of herbal recipes play an important role in cleansing the body. Before treating helminthiasis, you need to be familiar with the available control options and how many parasitic eggs live. After all, the tablets should be taken again after the worms have appeared from the egg.
Tablets
Pinworms and ascaris are most commonly seen in humans. There are also infections with whipworm and tapeworm species. Each belongs to the class of nematodes. What to drink in this case? The appropriate medication will be prescribed by your doctor.
Drops
Worm infection is not limited to adult patients. Children also suffer from parasites invading their bodies. Therefore, it is worth figuring out how to treat children if there are worms.
A small child cannot swallow the pill. Anthelmintic drugs in the form of a suspension are used for such purposes.
Drops of worms are easily swallowed by the baby. Special ingredients are added to improve the taste. The dose of the medicine is selected based on the child's weight, age and the type of worms found.
Enema
This method helps to get rid of worms in adults and children with minimal health risk. The enema cleanses the intestines of accumulated stool and removes some parasites. To completely remove the intestinal worm from the body, a cleansing enema should be prepared after taking anthelmintic medications. This way, dead worms leave the body quickly and do not contaminate it with decay products.
To get rid of fungal worms, traditional medicine recommends enema with a mixture of milk and garlic. To do this, cook a head of garlic in a glass of milk. The person is then placed on the bed and an warm mixture is injected into the anus using an enema. It is recommended to leave the contents of the enema in the rectum overnight. In the morning, if no defecation occurs, drink a laxative. This procedure is repeated several times, after 10 days.
Children most often have a fungal infection and can be given an enema. Pay attention to the hygiene of the child during the procedure. After all, worms enter the body through the mouth, and children very often ignore the requirement to wash their hands. In this case, the fight against parasites can last forever.
Herbal preparations
In addition to chemotherapy, we also treat herbivores with herbs. For example, a product extracted from the peel of a pomegranate helps get rid of parasites in the body. This drug also has a detrimental effect on the human body, but the addition of tannin makes the mixture virtually insoluble in the stomach.
For the treatment of worms in person, and in particular in children, preferably in a non-toxic manner. There is such a cure - pumpkin seeds. Their thin, grayish-green film contains an alkaloid that people don’t suffer from, but is fatal to helminths. It is recommended to take this delicious medicine on an empty stomach.
Treatment of worms with herbal medicines can be done with santonin. This substance is a derivative of naphthalene and is found in tarragon. It is safe to handle because it is poorly absorbed in the intestines. In humans, worms come out immobilized with the feces. To remove them from the body as soon as possible, a laxative should be taken, which not only removes worms from an adult but also removes santonin.
Can worms go away on their own? There is no point in hoping for that. If they wait until they leave the body on their own, they can only wait for their population to grow and their health to deteriorate. Helminthiasis causes great harm to humans and should be treated by all possible means. Among the herbs, crushed chicory root, which affects parasites in humans, can be used. This infusion is recommended for adults and children over 12 years of age.
Other tools
There are times when you don’t know what to do because you have worms and there is no way to get to the pharmacy. You can then use improvised devices from a standard home first aid kit. For example, zinc ointment helps against dumplings. These types of worms lay their eggs outside the human body. Worm eggs are deposited by females at night. At the same time, they crawl out of the anus.
Zinc ointment is applied to the anus. When the needle worm tries to get through the smeared area, it simply gets stuck there. In the morning you have to keep the toilet in the anal area. Wash your hands thoroughly. You can take a shower. The number of fungal worms will decrease every day, and after seven days of zinc ointment procedures, the parasites will not remain in the body. In addition, zinc ointment dries the skin, which creates unfavorable conditions for laying eggs: high humidity is required.
diet therapy
Worms only live where they are comfortable. Nutrition experts advise you to modify your diet to help cope with parasites and speed up their elimination. Worms in the human body weaken the liver. To support this, it is worth reducing the consumption of fatty, fried and coarse foods. The menu should include products with anthelmintic properties. For example, nuts and coconuts, pumpkins and seeds from it. The menu is enriched with fruits and vegetables if possible, which helps to improve the patient's well-being.
Oxygen
Human helminths have become accustomed to living in the absence of oxygen because many worms cannot survive in such a space, so they have tried the method of oxygen therapy. Before the worms are removed from the body in this way, the patient's stomach is first cleansed and then oxygen is sent through the tube, which is especially effective in ascariasis. In enterobiasis, oxygen is pumped into the rectum. The method of oxygen therapy is safe and is therefore used not only in adult patients but also in infants. Oxygen should be administered slowly for 5 days.
Many experts answer the question: how to treat worms without drugs - this way.
Immune correction
The immune system acts as a defense against external intrusions. Taking chemicals can cause the immune system to malfunction, and helminthic invasion can reappear. But how can we cure the worms in this case and not damage the immune system? Your doctor may recommend that it be used in combination with antiparasitic agents.
Otherwise, a person infected with worms often causes an allergic reaction, which can take the form of a rash, redness, itching. You should take antihistamines to prevent allergies.
Anthelmintic devices
Devices capable of emptying helminth samples from the human body have appeared on the market. Their principle of operation is that the device generates an electromagnetic field with a frequency that is capable of parasites. These methods have not been fully studied, so you should not have complete confidence in your treatment with this method of treatment.
The fields only affect adult worms, but the larvae survive and develop further. With such a miracle tool, the body can quickly get rid of worms and damage it.
Ionic body detoxification
It is difficult to live with parasites in the body. They poison their owners with waste products. You are also exposed to toxic effects after treatment with anthelmintics. First, the substances poison the body, and then the remnants of the worms begin to decompose. Therefore, not only the method of removing the worms is important, but also the method of subsequent recovery.
In this case, you must undergo an ionic detoxification course. To do this, put your foot in a water tank and switch on the appliance. The duration of the procedure depends on the patient's age and state of health. For example, 15 minutes is enough for children, but for older patients - 30-45 minutes. The device can be used to cleanse the body of toxins and any substances that poison them.
Modern treatment methods
To get rid of the uninvited neighborhood, you need to use modern medications designed to remove parasites. But the tablets alone do not solve the problem. After the treatment, it is worth going through a wellness course and a treatment to cleanse from decomposition products. Only an integrated approach to eliminating the problem can drive out parasites for a long time.
