Before thinking about how to get rid of parasites in the body, it would be a good idea to conduct tests to confirm the presence of intruders and identify their type. After all, any treatment can have side effects, which means that the treatment must be direct and not meaningless.
Types of parasites
The most common parasites found in humans are:
- round worms (roundworms, pinworms);
- flat worms (tapeworms, tapeworms, echinococcus);
- 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 enterobiasis (a disease caused by the presence of pinworms in the body) and ascaris infection, 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 family members are infected.
Among the protozoa, Giardia is the most common. They also enter the body due to poor hand hygiene.
Symptoms of parasite infestation
The most obvious symptoms of human infection with parasitic organisms:
- constipation or diarrhea, flatulence;
- pain in the muscles and joints;
- allergic manifestations, skin rashes, acne or eczema;
- obesity or excessive weight loss;
- sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue;
- a sharp decrease in immunity.
How to get rid of parasites
Pharmacological treatment
In medicine, there are a large number of drugs aimed at removing various parasites from the human body. The most famous and often used are the following remedies for parasites in the human body:
- medicines against nematodes;
- tapeworm medicines;
- flatworm tablets.
Each medicine for parasites in the human body is aimed at a certain type of parasite organisms and can only be prescribed by a specialist after having performed the necessary tests to identify a specific type of parasite. Also, some medications to treat severe infections are only taken in the hospital under the supervision of a doctor.
All medicines aimed at cleansing the body of parasites mainly act only on their adults, while the eggs are not killed by means of such pills. Therefore, as a rule, the course of taking such drugs should be repeated a couple of weeks after the first dose. The dosage and method of administration are prescribed strictly by the doctor and have significant differences for adults and children (in addition, a number of drugs are not allowed in childhood).
Antiparasitic drugs are very effective, but they have a major drawback - they are toxic and have many side effects. That is why they can only be prescribed by a doctor to adults and children.
Side effects
The main side effects of anti-parasite pills include:
- nausea and vomit;
- painful sensations in the abdomen;
- headache, dizziness, confusion;
- impaired coordination of movements;
- impaired liver and kidney function, renal failure;
- numbness or tremor in the limbs;
- fast fatigue;
- convulsions;
- sleep disorders;
- skin dermatitis.
Each drug has its own contraindications that cannot be neglected. The doctor must take into account the general condition of the patient before prescribing this or that remedy.
Medical treatment for parasites involves complexity, that is, one cannot limit oneself to taking antiparasitic drugs, since together with them it is necessary to drink drugs aimed at protecting the liver, improving bile secretion, cleansing the intestines and strengthening immunity. In addition, you will need antihistamines and drugs that reduce the toxic effects.
How to get rid of parasites in the body with folk remedies
Traditional medicine is a worthy substitute for antiparasitic drugs. The most effective products in the fight against parasites are:
